The mansion looks so regal, Karim.  I wish I had their green thumbs!  They certainly have a way wit roses.   :love:

Good afternoon dear Friends  :wave:

I thank you so very much to follow this project even since I was not much around in the past few weeks, but you all know by now that I run a busy hotel and equally busy 2 restaurants with summer being a very demanding period for me and my staff, only allowing me 2 days off in July during which I took the opportunity of visiting the beautiful village of Bernkastel Kues in Germany.

August is still busy allowing me one day off the day before yesterday during which I did the "A Matter of Perspective - Part One" photoshoot, and then my second and only day off of the month will be Saturday, 23rd 2014 when I will be attending the LuxPlaymoDays exhibition in Clemency  :love:

Needless to say that knowing the work that still has to be done on the "Return to Regent St" project, it is quite a dilemma for me as I simply cannot cut corner and rush into things for this project, the same way that I could not scamp in any possible way my previous project or I would simply feel like I am betraying your expectations and my own standards...

So, even if it involves a great time management, I am trying my best at making some improvements during my lunch breaks as often as possible in order to keep the project moving forward, and judging by today, it seems to work rather well  8}

A Matter of Perpective is as much a way to show the Grand Mansion and its Gardens from different angles while completing the final little touches to the outside decor, as for me to get a better feel of what photographing scènes around the property will be like...

Monsieur Firmin & Miss Periwinkle are about to start decorating the terraces of the Mansion overlooking the Grand Gardens, adding a vegetal & floral feel to them which, just like they did on the outside groundfloor of the property softening the brickwork aspect with lush climbing plants & flowers.

There will be quite a few scènes shot on these terraces and I wish to provide a constant reminder of a Summer feel throughout the property both inside & out.

Once again, a huge THANK YOU for following the labour of love which represents the "Return to Regent St" project  :)

Good afternoon dear Friends  :wave:

A little anecdote and smile that I would like to share with you is the music I am listening to when I am doing a photoshoot which are Waltzes from Johannes Strauss ! Those with a musical ear have certainly recognized his famous Waltzes in each of my most recent videos since the Maestro composed more than a hundred of them, so I am afraid that you are in for a long run listening to Viennese Waltzes & Polkas  :lol: :

The famous Viennese Composer will soon be presented to you in his own custom made decor and will of course, be directing the musical interludes at N°1 Regent St  just like the Maestro & his orchestra entertained high society at the opening of the Savoy Hotel in London  ;)
