      Hello Nicholas, what a treat to o see London and Stuart the Courtier . This video reminds me of my lovely friend Patrícia Pinto. She is a dedicated costura Her Atelier is situated in the heart of Funchal, Madeira. Her attention to detail is ..... superb. She is a good friend, and I love her dearly. Wonderful to visit
      Chelsea Physic Garden.......

    The gardens in London are gorgeous and peaceful. Sophie seemed to like them too. Thank you for including her in this vlog … she is adorable and the two of you are so stylish together. Stewart is a fantastic designer. He is also a very handsome, charming man. Enjoyed hearing his stories. London can be a bit overwhelming, but there are so many hidden gems there.

      @@darlenechandler2403 Belgravia along with some other parts of West London are highly coveted locations but do not limit yourself just to London. Surrey, in particular, Virginia Water and Weybridge might be also to your taste. I thought that the ease of lockdown will usher in the glorious return of the UK social scene, judging from the Royal Ascot it did not happen, ergo no need to hurry back...for my heart does not simply miss buildings/nature, but the lifestyle.

    I was so excited to see this video. I miss London due to the pandemic and this was a great video and makes me want to get back soon. I own 6 pieces of Stewart’s clothing. I’m not bragging it’s just that I love his clothes so very much. I’ve had some pieces for years. I buy items that can be worn a number of ways. It’s like having 12-14 outfits and since I’m more of a classic dresser, they’ll never go out of style. He’s absolutely correct on sizing. I have 36 inch hips and a 22 inch waist plus long arms. It’s very difficult for me to find clothes that fit. Either the waist is to large or sleeves to short etc. His workmanship is impeccable. This was a lovely tour. Thank you 😊

The gardens, a dream indeed with Foxglove and the loveliest Peonies! Didn't realize that so many green places still exist in the city.
