Spring Cleaning

Scrubbing the floor of the roof terrace in Porto Vecchio marks the beginning of the summer season – this place is like the roof of a riyad in Marrakesh or like the deck of a boat. The birds fly so close it feels like one is up in the sky.

This was what it looked like early in the morning after easter weekend, when I had to leave for the airport and Stockholm. It almost makes me break inside when I have to go, I just want to stay. This is definitely my favourite time of year, no tourists, empty beaches, flowers scent the air, a general sense of freshness and promise.

Love from Filippa.
