Memories of Burgh Island




Looking through our photos, Ana and I found a selection from our visit to Burgh Island in Devon. 
If you don't know it, the island has one hotel and it was the inspiration for Agatha Christie
when she stayed to write Evil Under the Sun.  
In fact, the David Suchet and Hugh Fraser 'Poirot' version was filmed there.  
The hotel is a complete and wonderful Art Deco experience. 
Here are some of our memories, firstly, getting to and walking about the island...


...and once we got inside; the atmosphere was simply amazing.  Art deco furniture everywhere - it was almost as if time had stood still.  
 












And all too soon, it was time to go home.  I'm sure Burgh Island had an impact on my choosing to work with vintage clothes and accessories.  One day we will go back...
