1. International Women's Day #BeBoldForChange

   Posted on 9:35pm Tuesday 7th Mar 2017

   The three women I admire most are my mum for her unconditional love, Barbara Hepworth for her creativity and the Queen, for her unwavering sense of duty and dignity!

   Babara Hepworth is one of the most important artists of the twenthieth century. Hepworth trained and created art alongside her domestic duties, during times of restrictive space, and represented a link with pre-war ideals in a climate of social and physical reconstruction in a largely male-dominated art-world. She is now one of the few women artists to achieve international prominence. Her current exhibition at The Tate includes sculptures in bronze, stone and wood. These are on display in the museum and garden, along with paintings, drawings and archive material. The garden is laid out in positions she originally placed them with her friend, the composer Priaulx Rainier. Here are a few of my favourite pieces..

3. HOOK Camden

   Posted on 4:38pm Friday 3rd Jul 2015

   We have started to combine our weekly team meetings with our love of good food so we are now exploring the best places to eat in London and report back to you!

   

   We have discovered that we all LOVE fish & chips but are disappointed by the lack of good sustainable and non-greasy fish & chips in town... well that is now changed as we discovered HOOK in Camden.

   They use fresh sustainable fish delivered daily from Cornwall. The menu is short but everything on it is just delicious and non greasy. For research reasons we ordered ALL of the sauces and enjoyed every single one of them, even the most adventures ones such as wasabi sauce. This is a non frills place with good friendly service in a cool setting and great comfort food.
