I guess this is me taking a moment to reflect before leaving Heathrow bound for Tokyo. Either that or Hennie getting me to pose on the old school lounge chairs in the eerily quiet departure lounge.
It has been a busy few weeks. Japan was fantastic as usual, my heart sings there. I really love the way I can discover more and more with every trip. We are back in M Town now, have found a new house and moved in. We had a great time at Marcus and Mieko's Melbourne wedding and were lucky to see them in Tokyo over New Year too. This blog is always out of order anyhoo!
Kamakura trip with Marcus and Henrik. Oh for anyone plannning a trip to Japan DO IT!!!!! Winter is lovely, the sun shone daily, rain only once and the temp was around 10, very manageble post UK/Sweden chill.
In Tokyo enjoying ridiculously yummy drinks and my new favourite skirt.
Hennie Johansson at the Park Hyatt hotel. Gorgeous!
We saw Axe Riverboy live on our last night in Tokyo. He is so super, plus he loves my work and would like me to make a video for Tahiti 80 his band so, yeah, pretty thrilled by this! Tahiti 80 are French and rival artists like Justin Timberlake etc for top chart positions in Japan and Korea. I really love Xaviers voice. I always sing Tahiti 80 songs at karaoke so it was an apt place to see him live. The Japanese crowds are so different, so polite and quiet!
Here is Xavier looking Mario Bros-esque. He wrote me and told me he finds it hard to say my name in 'english' which is what the other Frenchies in France told me! They say 'Shen-fief.' One guy said to me, 'you know you say your name wrong.' Twas funny!
We enjoyed meeting lots of well dressed poochies in Tokyo, such as this little guy in overalls and a yellow tee. I am well obsessed with yellow these days! Minute later he flipped and nearly bit off my face. Good luck I have experience with lunging nose biters.
Back home, in the Edinburgh gardens appreciating the nature and weather!
