JACARANDAS PURPLE CARPET 💜🌸💜 // Oh what a beautiful sight at Mount Street, West Perth (on the corner of Jacob’s Ladder). The whole of Perth is blooming with jacarandas, it’s not only Applecross. Love this row of Jacaranda trees on Mount street with the city skyline. 😉❤️😍 #mountstreet #jacarandas #purple #flowercarpet #perthcity #westperth #kingspark #flower #photosbySW #perthfoodreview (at Mount Street West Perth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH2A7mDjqbf/?igshid=1v7ad7fzgl8d7

The #inkyscribe of #mountstreetgardens - I have spent my life living in a 4th floor walk up on #MountStreet #Mayfair opposite these gardens where I find repose with a #book & dream of history wearing my antique @Asprey tiara in what was once the #graveyard of St George’s Church #hanoversquare until 1842 when, following my #ancestor #danieloconnell #kingofireland successfully passing the #catholicemancipation Act 1829 & The #abolitionofslavery Act 1833 enabling the Jesuits to buy land in Mayfair & began building London’s high society Catholic Church so beloved by #OscarWilde #Edithsitwell & #evelynwaugh all of whom sought conversion here. The gardens were the graveyard for #Mayfair #aristocracy #writers #artists #composers #fashiondesigners & #eccentrics - including composer #ignatiussancho who was Born on a #slave ship & liberated by #LadyMontagu ⚜️Sancho became the toast of #Regency #society as composer & #dandy & close friend of our first black #queen - the Eccentric #QueenCharlotte ⚜️ Sancho & Queen Charlotte were both painted by #Gainsborough but whilst Sancho was painted black & the queen’s features were depicted as #African her skin was painted white💜 The gravestones were incorporated into the gardens & the gardens #haunted by the #ghosts of the #Eccentrics #authors & #artists of #Mayfairs #history from #handel & #fannyburney to #nancymitford ⚜️if you need repose from the grandeur of #fashionisart @londonfashionweek @pamhoggfashion @fashion4relief @fashionscout @malanbreton @londonfashionweek2019 take a seat amongst the ghosts of Mayfair past 1630-1842 ⚜️🥂🍾⚜️photograph @muirvidler (at Mount Street Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2bsOfOAX6g/?igshid=16taja0rmpwt5

Flashback 2006 the magnificent bathroom of the #ladyislingtonsuite @homehouselondon - a dozen years ago I fled my flat on #Mountstreet & locked myself in Lady Islington to focus on completing the last in my #yaseries for @bloomsburypublishing USA - as #proust so wisely put it #pluscachange #plusçachangepluscestlamêmechose - the more things change the more they stay the same ... #madelinecakes never loose their magic ⚜️ (at Home House) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsqts7CncIg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wqwa212lr8wg
