Concerts at The Emirates Palace

This weekend I went to watch Andre Bocelli and Coldplay. Complete oppostites but both so amazing in their own way, the setting is out of this world - well for an English chick anyway. Picture this - a palace, palm trees, the sea, an international crowd, great company and amazing music - perfect!!!!
I am also planning some trips to Muscat and Beirut for our team, we need to explore the region more and once it starts getting hot is will be nice to escape. I also spent time this weekend looking at furniture for our project villa - I can't believe I get to do this for work, I am off to an Interior exhibition tonight to try and find some more sources and learn about Interior UAE stylie.

More news to follow on this tomorrow.....

Abu Dhabi is starting to feel more like home

So in the past couple of weeks I have been to Vail, which was absolutely fantastic and probably the best resor I have ever been to, I must also say that the Americans were lovely and made the whole experience a dream. I am now back in Abu Dhabi and this week for the forst I really feel like this is home for me now, we have been looking at villas as we need to move out of the Shangri La but have found some very close. My task for the weekend is to go and check out the prices for furninshing 2 villas - perfect job, I am so excited I actually get to put my interior design skills into action!!!!
I will leave you with a photo of the Rocky mountains, brilliant blue skies contrasted with bright white snow lines and gorgeous evergreens - bliss.................

Lovely food and fabulous surroundings

Well Anna and I are finally having to move out of the lovely Shangri La apartments - we are both totally gutted, last week we went for our last meal together at the Pearls and Caviar restaurant, beautiful food, great company and fabulous settings - we both agreed we make great dates!!!
The toilets had the most amazing mural of a lady and I just think this photo is so beautiful.
