In the old quarter, of a quiet Spanish town, lies hidden an encounter with the spirit of the 1930s!

Guarnicioneria Lopez | Seville
Custom shoemaking, leather goods and leather craft does not come much better than this – Spanish royalty seem to think so too. Guarnicionerie Lopez was established 1952 by Francisco Lopez Galan and is now run by grandson Paco Lopez. Incredible craftsmanship at (amazingly) affordable prices, definitely worth paying a visit if you are in Seville.

An enchanting place
Agios Pavlos, Crete 2011.
Agios Pavlos is a remote coastal village close to Agia Galini in the south of Crete; a place where you are woken by the sound of cockerels at dawn, the water supply is fresh spring water from the mountains plus several miles of unspoiled beaches. I first went there 10 yrs ago to YogaPlus and met my good friend Cushla. She went back to work a season the following year and met her husband Bruce who was a guest at the time. They then went back to work, as a couple, the following year and subsequently returned to Agios Pavlos for their honeymoon a few years later….this place holds special meaning for them. This month we all returned again to Agios Pavlos including their two young children……all of us connected by place.
