Our story

Seven summers, two cities and one very patient lemon tree.

We met on a pier in Capri, both late for the same ferry, and spent three hours pretending we had meant to be there. Everything since has followed roughly the same pattern: unplanned, a little inconvenient, and somehow exactly right.

Gifts

If you’d like to

Having you there, after a flight and a ferry, is the gift. If you’d still like to give something, here are two ideas.

A blue train passing Mount Fuji

the honeymoon

Two weeks in Japan

Trains, temples and far too much ramen in October. Every contribution goes straight into the trip.

House plants on a white shelf

for the home

A short list

A few things for the London flat, including a bigger pot for the lemon tree.

The Sorrento coastline, the setting for Clara and Theo's wedding
