In memory of the sad loss of Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Whilst our heads are bowed, the painted crest shines proud as a saluting tribute of the Lord High Admiral on the stern cabin panels of Gloriana QRB. Thank you. Amongst all men you were a truly great man.

An early morning walk in the Malvern’s and an afternoon presentation in Mayfair. Fresh air, fresh mind, focused approach.

Like colourful spring blossom breaking through hard frosty grounds our restaurants and pubs are finding ways to welcome us. Visiting my local pub garden & then eating alfresco in London this week was safe & uplifting. Can’t wait for ⁦xxxx⁩ bonvivant.co.uk/journal/london…

Classic multiple repairs over decades & probably centuries Steve - from essential to good to terrible in both labour & material. Always an important challenge for the longevity of the building. Remove the cement repairs with care or leave & the stone will suffer long term.

An architectural and literary horror story is unfolding in Cape Town. Prayers for the safety of the crews and the salvaging of the magnificent building and its contents UCT

The tale of two British country houses. Both built in the Neo-renaissance French Chateau style in the 1870’s for owners looking to reflect their status whilst creating and inspiring an architectural movement. Waddesdon retains its glory@whilst@Kinmel Hall is now collapsing

We are witnessing an enormous architectural crime in 2021. As the interiors of Waddesdon continue to reflect its palatial charm and welcome guests into its sumptuous interior, the ornamentation of Kinmel Hall falls to the floor in ruins as the roof and walls give way.

Thank you North Wales Live and the friends of Kinmel Hall FRIENDS OF KINMEL HALL.

Thank you for highlighting our concern Suzanne Kendrick and FRIENDS OF KINMEL HALL. We look forward to meeting and assisting the new owners in due course 'Disgraceful lack of maintenance' has led to decay of Kinmel Hall say experts days before auction rhyljournal.co.uk/news/19293745.…

“Cometh the hour, cometh the man”. The custodianship of Kinmel Hall will likely change hands within this hour under a online gavel. Outliving all of us, the future purpose of this incredible building swings in the balance.

Following the successful outcome of the auction, there is now an air of cautious optimism echoing from the halls and across the gardens of Kinmel Hall. FRIENDS OF KINMEL HALL has endured neglect beyond comprehension. Mark Twain wrote, “The rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated”.

The reinstatement of the William Morris room V&A was one of my first projects. The Morris collection is a must for all budding decorators, artists, conservators & designers. A pen, a brush & a cut that created a movement that reshaped interior & textile design forever.

Wishing HRH the Princess Royal a super birthday. Thank you for your commitment and support in so many areas. Best wishes.
