It was the hottest day of the year today, a scorching 22 degrees. I hot-footed it to my local park where I was struck by the vibrant reds and yellows of flowers, back-lit by the sun. I decided to attempt to capture it on camera!

A Day of Refinement at The Wallace Collection
I stopped for a coffee in Eat, and the jagged geometric shapes of the paper lights multiplied in the mirror caught my attention. |

My favourite room, lurid green and lavishly brushed with gold and cut glass! |
Feeling very sophisticated I managed to veer away from the shops on Oxford Street and headed instead to 'The Wallace Collection' a few minutes walk away. A London town house packed with art and luxurious items, it was free to the public; I felt like I had stepped on to a film set with a multi-million dollar budget. I loved the vibrant green wallpaper pictured above and the gold embellishment which made it onto even the most subdued items.
