Travelling with EasyJet this month? Check out my feature in @inkglobal ‘s EasyJet Traveller for a local’s insights to Palermo. . . Moreno is a wonderful soul 💕 I met him at a bar in my first week living in Palermo and he invited me to his apartment to check out his vintage collection. Naturally, I thought this was a pick up line. . . I went anyway! And found a treasure trove of vintage clothing he’s been collecting from his travels across Europe. He also stirs up a mean Gin & Tonic and hosts aperitivo hours combined with vintage rummaging at his home in the Sicilian capital. . . If he likes your style, he’ll invite you over for some V exclusive shopping to a soundtrack of funk and soul 🤗 . . Photography by my partner in crime @missmamiya
Eggsactly what I needed. . . Smashed avo, boiled eggs, hunk of feta, walnuts, sprinkle of yiayia’s oregano and a drizzle of my own olive oil made from olives picked by my own fair hand 👍🏽
Thank you very much lovely @london_sarah for giving me the space to tell mine and @iskalupton ‘s granny love story for @stylistmagazine ‘s Love Week 💕 . . Read all about what 20 grandmothers taught me about love in the process of making @granddishes - and if you’re feeling generous this weekend, please do follow the link in the Grand Dishes bio and pre-order a book from @unbounders 😘👵🏼🙏
Deal or no deal? . . Elaionas Gypsy Market in Athens is REALLY one of the best spots in the city. 5 min from Monastiraki on the metro - x 100000 cheaper than flea markets in the centre. . . On assignment for the i this weekend
Part of the furniture. . . The weekend was rough on him...
The Guys. . . Souvlaki Amstel Gypsy Market Sunday
Still life. . . In Ancient Greek mythology, the pomegranate was known as the "fruit of the dead" and believed to have sprung from the blood of Adonis. . . The myth of Persephone, the goddess of the underworld, prominently features the pomegranate. In one version of the myth, Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and taken off to live in the underworld as his wife. Her mother, Demeter (goddess of the harvest), went into mourning for her lost daughter; thus all green things ceased to grow. Zeus, the highest-ranking of the Greek gods, could not allow the Earth to die, so he commanded Hades to return Persephone. However, it was the rule of the Fates that anyone who consumed food or drink in the underworld was doomed to spend eternity there. Persephone had no food, but Hades offered her a pomegranate and she ate six seeds, so from then on had to spend six months in the underworld every year. During these six months, while Persephone sits on the throne of the underworld beside her husband Hades, her mother Demeter mourns and no longer gives fertility to the earth. This was an ancient Greek explanation for the seasons. . . (Read Stephen Fry’s Mythos)
