Good morning dear Friends
I hope that you are all well.
After a lockdown that became rather difficult to live at the end in my little flat of Marlow on Thames until late May, I welcomed the freedom to travel again early June like a new lease of life
I left an England still in lockdown aboard the Eurostar, I find a Paris freshly out of lockdown, as busy and vibrant as ever before heading towards my beloved home in South West France as well as my Mum who lives 50 miles away and of course all my Friends whom I had not seen since last Christmas.
Thinking about it, I know realise how much my project of New Regent St, setting up pictures of my happy little Victorians helped me through a 2 months and a half lockdown in Marlow. Their cheerful little faces never fail to bring a smile on mine.
After a self imposed quarantine upon my return from France, I will start working from next week onwards at the hotel again, but I have truly put these nearly 3 months of summer holidays to good use by refreshing both my home and my Mum's from cellar to attic as well as refreshing my own garden which really was in urgent need of TLC. I may not have relaxed as much as I first intended to do, but I have spent my time in France in a useful and constructive way.
After dropping my bags back in an England that I rediscover with a fresh eye and a few days of welcomed rest, here I am back amongst you, just a few minutes away from taking away the dust sheet over the little world of New Regent St.
I see you very soon with fresh pictures from the outside of my Mini Harrods
Take good care of yourselves and those you love most
Your Friend Karim
