Jogo was drawing scribbles while I made them as birds.
It's friday. It's lunchtime with Jonni. This time we're all gathered in Peyroche for lunch made by MammaGilles. We were having locally grown Cantaloupe melons, gratin made by courgettes from the neighbour, tarte with plums from the garden and of course 51 with ice cold water as aperitif. And as digestive: a dip in the pool followed by swimming in the Ardeche river.
We are honored to be hand-picked and invited by the global submission team
to create three AOL canvases.

Happy summer.

It's friday. It's lunchtime! This time Jonni is on holiday and we are still in London for the Moleskine Impressed event in Selfridges. Special lunch guest this week is Emily Evans. She is a great illustrator and we are lucky to have her on our team today. Back to the food, Comptoir Libanais on Wigmore street is just 5 minutes walk from Selfridges. We are greeted by friendly staff and colourful interior and menus. So inspired by the counter of delicious food we had both main course and dessert. Everything was better than expected and I even filled out the form to win meals at this gem in centre London. Emily had Halloumi wrap and I had lamb kofta wrap which both came with tasty, well seasoned salad. Then we had orange blossom, rose water and pomme grenade lemonades to drink. For dessert we had cake. Emily ate the almond cake and I ate the chocolate and raspberry tart which I eyed on the way in. Accompanied with lovely espresso coffees we were fit to stamp more Moleskine books.
We spent just an hour on this wonderful island in the lagune of Venice. It was hard to choose just 5 images to show on the blog, but these are some of my favourites. I wish more places where bold with colours in urban environments. xCecilie
