Jamie Primrose
exhibition – Private viewing
We loved the
Jamie Primrose art exhibition before the artist’s London debut.
His collection leads you on a magical journey through the city’s
waterways and hidden canals, uncovering some spectacular sights and
stunning vistas: From tranquil early morning ripples by the piazzas, to
shimmering iridescent reflections at dusk, Jamie Primrose’s paintings
capture the unique ethereal atmosphere and the magical play of light and
colour from the sky onto Venice’s impressive architecture and romantic
timeless waterways.

Scottish Premiere. The 38 dancers

elegant, classical, spirited and animated, with more than the occasional
bow to Balanchine and van Manen.' Frankfurter Allgemeine

Cocktails masterclass at Dragonfly
We slipped
into the weekend with style,
mixing our own cocktails and shaking and stirring with the best of them!
There was more to it than meets the eye. All that shaking
and stirring is actually quite tricky. Have to say we were all
very impressed with Jim's fabulously rhythmic shaking technique and
Brian's kung fu approach to cocktail making! We were also most
taken with our expert mixologist and his er... mixing techniques.
I’ve managed to secure his
services for our
Caribbean Beach
Party
