Another Unforgettable Birthday - Shrewsbury & London

Another Unforgettable Birthday - Shrewsbury & London - March 2023

5/4/2023

So proud to be a Four Seasons Brand Ambassador. Readership of #luxury #travelblog is up 68% on the day of this post.

What a birthday! Meeting Chef Wolfgang Puck again & him introducing me to his son; meeting my neighbour from Tucker's Town, Bermuda; balloons & champagne at Mandarin Oriental, Hyde Park; having Claridge's 'new' pool to myself; and a welcome at Four Seasons at Park Lane like no other.

I was given too many fantastic one-off gifts. A Mandarin Oriental leather notebook with my initials embossed on it; a Four Seasons at Park Lane leather wash bag; a cocktail shaker engraved with 45 Park Lane; and a teddy bear chocolate birthday cake & flowers from Four Seasons at Park Lane.

It was kind of 45 Park Lane to cover my Spago, Beverly Hills dinner bill & love the Gym Face products that were a gift from Claridge's.

Thanks to everyone who made my birthday so special (eg the magnum of Veuve Clicquot champagne) and hope you enjoy the photos below.

Simon,

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY...again...these photos are just magical.

It is so wonderful that you were able to meet (again!!!) Chef Wolfgang Puck & being introduced me to his son, swimming in the new Claridge's pool, & having ANOTHER amazing welcome by the staff from Four Season at Park Lane. <3

Seeing the Avanti West Coast photo made us sigh because of how awful their service is & the fact that they can never run an on-time operation...very unfortunate. We are thankful that you are always willing to let the Customer Service staff know about the troubles that they continue to put you through.

Wonderful photos though I do wonder if you should be making Avanti look good.

Another triumph in photography. Absolutely fabulous pictures. Mouthwatering food, beautiful surroundings and an array of delightful birthday gifts. As I have said before your photos always make you feel as if one was there in person with you. Here’s to another 12 months of entrancing and beautiful posts.
