Hows about this then ?! Miss Double U was feeling very gracious and generous with her time and 'PATIENTLY ' helped me download these photos for a pictorial trip around some of the things I did this Summer[though God Help Me if I want to download some more -I daren't ask her again !!]
The Wedding
Ah! Mr & Mrs Double U xx
Miss Double U on the Croquet Lawn [ being watched in the background by Mr Double U - trying to put her off play I dare say - competitive dad syndrome ! ]
Soaking up the history of the place - Queen Elizabeth I
once stayed here !
Congratulations to the Happy Couple !
Biarritz
Me at sunset
through a straw ? !
Miss Double U looking pretty as a picture at sunset
This is the great indoor food market at Biarritz . They also have a cool outdoor bit with stalls selling a mixture of vintage and crafts - I picked up a vintage YSL two piece ladies skirt suit for a bargain [ with a bit of bartering ].I will do a post of my recent vintage finds soon - photo down loading ability permitting !!

vintage overalls and Amazing flower bedecked sun shades
Yes I think it's true , you do get drunk a whole lot quicker when you drink through a straw !
- Ah Yes! And here we have exhibit A . See this outfit I'm wearing ? You will never see me in it ever again !
The T Shirt I've had for years , it's a comme des garcon . The skirt I got in American Rag - a great vintage shop in L A . It's white cotton pique with little strawberries embroidered all over it , a bit miu miu I thought at time of purchase . For a while I've felt like taking a more feminine approach to my dressing . Normally I'm more Tomboy style ,so I thought a mini trip away was a good place to experiment with a couple of new ensembles-pffff ! Whilst we were in Biarritz it was Festival time and ALOT of people , mostly young folk , were dressed in the Basque National costume which is ' Red and White ' - getting the picture ? God ! I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel that day and get changed
Williamsburg - Brooklyn &
The Catskills - UpState New York

All hands on deck ! The inflatable deflated - whoopsie !
Master C Double U getting a great cut from our mate Russel at Tommy Guns in Brooklyn.
They also have a salon on Ludlow St in Manhattan . The interior of both are amazing ,using original 1870's Drugstore cabinets
to create a truly authentic 'step back in time' experience.
So authentic in fact that Russel and his shop were used in an episode of Boardwalk Empire .
Cool !
This was at Lucy and Duffy's place in the Catskills , we made s'mores and lay back to watch the amazing meteor showers and shooting stars , it was a pretty magical evening !
These pictures were taken at a beautiful waterfall which Duffy directed us to - I doubt we would have found it otherwise .
I was informed by all that the water was icy cold - I was too chicken to try !
Shootin the breeze at Lucy and Duff's
converted barn . Here's a great video that The Selby made of Lucy for the fashion store Zara .It shows her and Duffy in their Brooklyn apartment and then Lucy driving to their barn in the Catskills.I love it , such a cool couple !
The Boys get involved too
This is the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn where we stayed whilst we were in town . The views from our room of Manhattan across the river were stunning . In the Catskills we stayed at the Lazy Lodge which is owned by Kate's Lazy Meadow - Kate being Kate Pierson from the B-52's - a really great log cabin with wonderful interior and a stream running outside the back door , a wonderful place to escape the madness and heat of the city .
Yoko ono at the Serpentine
I enjoyed 'To the Light' by Yoko Ono but no picture taking was allowed inside . This shot is of the wishing trees outside . I thought the large perspex structure 'AMAZE' was interesting because you were allowed to enter into it and try to find the centre of the maze, become part of the sculpture . I'm not a fan of confined spaces but seeing as the walls were see through I didn't thing it would be so bad -
Yeh right ! At first I kept my cool but then started to think - what if I get to the middle but can't remember the way back out and I start to panic and hyper - ventilate and everyone is watching and they have to come and save me - so I swiftly backtracked my steps and exited looking as unfazed as possible

Home Grown
I took these photos out of wonderment because nothing ever grows for me - probably because I forget to water them - but the excessive rain fall we had did me a favour
I love this Horse tail grass ,it's really growing fast now
Milo getting close to nature and wondering if it's good to eat
Newquay , Cornwall
Here's our friend John and his amazing hot rod car at a vintage surf and skate board show we went to earlier this Summer in Newquay .
picnic on the quay at Padstow
A few pics of our place in Newquay which we don't get to visit enough but love it when we can .
Souvenir from Biarritz from a great little coffee bar by the market .
