"NICE NAPKIN"!

"NICE NAPKIN"!

Today the Beach Cafe at the Cotton House opened again after the summer's break and I was very pleased to see the new napkins I designed in use. Finally they have made it to the table!
Yoga Breakfast

Yoga Breakfast

After a late night dancing until dawn at the Mustique summer party some members of the Mustique community decided to salute the sun in a slightly different way. Dr Michael prescribed a healthy dose of yoga and a delicious breakfast down at Lagoon beach to cure the hungover.

Mustique Summer Party

Last Saturday night was the nightlife highlight of the summer season here on Mustique. A night to rival the exceptional New Years' Eve Party...
ALL GO - BIG 50

ALL GO - BIG 50

SPLASH OF GOLD

SPLASH OF GOLD

Just 6 days to go until the big Mustique 50th celebration party.  'A Splash of Gold' is the dress code, and we have yet to finish making our costumes!
COUNT DOWN!

COUNT DOWN!

Arriving back on-island is always an excitement but I wasn't expecting such a hive of activity after just 2 1/2 weeks away!  What industry there is in every direction.  This isn't any ordinary build-up to the summer high season,  there is good reason for such hustle and bustle, Mustique is celebrating 50 years of the formation of the Mustique Company! - quite a mouthful!

What an exciting moment to be present as Philippe Starck puts in the finishing touches.  The island is so quiet that only a handful of us were lucky enough to be around to pop a bottle of champagne and drink to the unofficial launch, or perhaps better described as the sneak-peak to the new Basil's Bar. (The official Launch will be at the big 50th celebration of Mustique this summer)
