Who is the most influential person you've ever met? That is one of the easiest questions for me to answer and I doubt it will change. It's Queen Elizabeth II. The UK's longest reining monarch (1952 - 2022) whose discipline and grace I have always admired and yes, I have also admired her sence of style. I was therefore thrilled to visit the Queen Elizabeth II, Her Life in Style exhibition now open at The King's Gallery at Buckingham Palace. It's a comprehensive celebration of the late monarch's wardrobe. On display are over 300 objects including stunning pieces she wore through the years, such as The Coronation Dress and Wedding Dress.

These images do not do justice to the exhibition but hopefully they give you a flavour of what you can expect if you visit. If you’re in London and interested, I'd definitely encourage you to go. It's now open until April 2027.

Exploring Paddington? Don’t forget to look up!

On Eastbourne Terrace, you’ll spot Real Time — a fascinating clock installation by Dutch artist Maarten Baas.

Inside, a man appears to be constantly wiping away and repainting the hands to show the actual time.

So next time you’re here, look up and watch time unfold!

Let go of the need to understand every turn. Trust God with the chapters you cannot yet read. He is writing a story far more beautiful than anything you could have planned.

Good morning. Happy Sunday 🙏🏽🌍🌺👣
