Singapore holiday and photoshoot

I have been a bit quiet lately as I have been on holiday in Singapore. It is a great place for a short break and in particular if you like shopping - though not of the vintage kind! We did see a couple of shop signs that said they sold antiques and vintage goods, but they were only open by appointment.

We stayed at the Raffles Hotel which is just fabulous, and you get the feeling you are stepping back in time. It is also a lovely haven from the noise and hubub of all the tourists.

A lot of famous people have stayed at the Raffles over it's 125 years and there are some suites named after those who have stayed there. Of course, I was interested in the Ava Gardner suite.

The rooms are amazing and we spent a bit of time taking some wonderful photos there.

The temperature made things a bit challenging outside and we had to duck back into the airconditioned comfort of our room a couple of times to freshen up.

We had a really enjoyable time and got some great photos (you can see more in the coming days on our Facebook page). I'm looking forward to another holiday and location shoot next year!
