Somewhere you should go...John Stewart: A...
One hopes that we will all have the same “joie de vivre” in our nineties as photographer John Stewart, who attended the opening of a new exhibition of his work in west London on Wednesday night. Stewart - born in the UK but now living and working in Paris – got his big break photographing Picasso and Matisse in the early 50s. He’s since done an array of work for Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Elle and...

3) Smile and wave
It can be an intimidating...

Somewhere you should go...The Museum of...
“You’ve got to have a bit of flair. You’ve got to be a bit mad. The family motto is, ‘who wants to be normal?’,” says Arthur Windley, a farmer from Norfolk who spent 40 years creating a miniature fairground - just one of the oddities on display at The Museum of Everything’s Exhibition #3.

1) Stay in a Casa Particular

The owners were wonderful, charming and friendly, giving us a great insight into what life is like for Cuban people. Book in...
