Our Year so far - it's been a busy one!

We've been so busy we haven't had time to post our Blog so before the year gets much older here's a quick update!

Whatever Next?

We started the year with a bit of fun - the launch of a new book by local hero Tony Porter.  Tony and his wife Bea owned Burgh Island for many years and created the most wonderful Art Deco hotel which was much loved and still has a place in all our hearts.  Whatever Next? describes Tony's life from his time in Africa to fashion icon Biba and establishing London Fashion Week. We had a fabulous time!
