colonial elegance






in my dream life
it would be 1928
mexico


I would live
in the house of brick
with big old wooden doors



wear long dresses



weave ribbons
in my hair



open a theater!



and take my
red & blue boat out
for pearl diving.





and your
dream life?

1945 Barcelona

Wake up to coffee on a side street.

Spend my days behind a lens.

Spend my nights with the closest of loved ones.

Eat and eat and eat the best of foods. The simplest of foods.

And sleep in the half light of early evening.

Medieval Japan
red lips, dark teeth
a view of the dishevelled garden from the verandah
flirting in verse in grey ink
and robes upon robes upon robes

The bright air of Bhutan.

Wrinkles and smiles.

A roomful of my paintings.

A warm, rumpled bed.

The smell of woodsmoke in my hair.

1920s Mexico sounds pretty nice. I think I'd pick Spain, however. Or maybe San Francisco?

Just graduated from Oxford after schooling at Eton

Move in with Bright Young Person

Best friends with Beverley Nichols and Nancy Mitford

Champagne becomes a food group and I write about my escapades anonymously for a newspaper
