While looking for something else, I came across these photos of a diplomat’s residence in London. Um, wow. Calm..serene…neutral… everything that my diplomatic home was definitely not. At least, it didn’t feel that way to me for a long time because we hit the ground running on a number of things, and the house was […]
Read MoreNotes from the Field: London, England…
Of all the places that I go for work, London is the most reoccurring destination. And I’ve often wondered what it would be like to be there for longer than just the five days, either for my own work or the diplo-husband’s – to give it a real go as a city to live in. […]
Read MoreThe Ambassador’s House…
How would you like to have over 10,000 people visit your house in just a single year? One of the things that many people don’t realize is that when you’re Ambassador, your house is really not your own…I mean, you live there of course, but the house is really there for representational purposes and you […]

Read MoreLast time in London…
We just got back from five days in London, although sadly, I don’t have too many pictures from that time around (though it was nice to take my diplo-tot and nanny along for a bit of change in scenery for all of us). Between some crazy work hours and the tube strike, it seems like […]
Read MoreLondon Hiatus…
In London this week and hoping to get back to regular posting soon… In the meantime, a piece that caught my eye on my last visit to London when I had an opportunity to swing by the Tate Modern!
Read MoreBorough Market…
How is it that we manage to get such beautiful produce in the dead of winter? Monday we ducked out for a visit to the local “pretty market” here in Copenhagen in Torvehallen – I was a bit too wrapped up to get good pics but thought I would share a few from my last […]
Read MoreI’d like to say I was invited…
But really, I just happened to be in London at the same time. Rest assured that I picked up all the commemorative paper editions… I don’t know what it is, but isn’t there something about this family in particular that just makes you want to be happy for them? Official Portrait by Jason Bell.
