class="content__text" Happy Fathers Day to my bar-setting dad, who is A Good Guy in ways too numerous to list here, and for whose constancy, humour, big brain and even bigger heart I am profoundly grateful. Also: still flies the Good American Style flag, from his Brooks Brothers to his Stans. 🏆

class="content__text" Here it is: @fthtsi ‘s spring travel issue, featuring a cracking Mumbai cover shoot by @vivekvad (with excellent accompanying essay by @jessberes ). You’ll find @christinaohlyevans in Aesthetic conversation with @thelizlambert ; @beatricehodgkin mapping the latest and greatest destination-inspired scents; @n_foulkes in full elegiac hilarity mode on the demise of the old-world hotel; @clarecoulson calling it on the Suffolk coast (the UK food destination to know these days, apparently); and a nice roundup of the hotels around the world in which @financialtimes@ft_weekend writers and contributors feel most at home. I wrote about #Singapore —can it finally assume the ‘Asia’s Capital of Cool’ title?? (The ft.com comments on that story make cockfighting in a Havana back alley look gracious, so I guess it’s a Topic.) And, I wrote about going to Morocco with my mom, one of the more poignant and meaningful trips I’ve ever taken. Link is in my bio and in my and HTSI’s stories today. The gorgeous photos (img 2) are by @l4artiste ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🇲🇦 . Huge and heartfelt thanks to @cwilmotsitwell@cazenove_and_loyd for helping mastermind this most precious of journeys for us (Chris Wilmot-Sitwell is your #morocco man, people); to @teyssierthierry for letting us live the @dar_ahlam fantasy; and to @philomenaschurermerckoll for welcoming us so warmly at @riadmena_pinkdoor , and for being her beautiful, generous self.

class="content__text" #SINGAPORE - Asia’s new capital of cool..? #Banyan @theeconomist called it last week (and has moved there from #hongkong , so I guess we know where they stand); I used to live there, and weigh in in this week’s @fthtsi travel issue. Waiting for the comments section to explode on ft.com 😬. You can link to the piece in my stories today. Here’s @dpynto ‘s brilliant @burntends.sg , shot by @faris.90210

class="content__text" Happiest Mothers Day to the person whose equanimity, compassion, strength and optimism were always there when my own flagged. You are still the brightest star in my sky. And HMD to anyone and everyone, regardless of orientation/biology/traditional reproductive status, whose mother love is making the world a better, softer place.

class="content__text"@castellodicigognola in the weekend’s @fthtsi . An extraordinary piece of the #renzomongiardino legacy. Thank you @emiliefouilloux for spending the day with me, @giulioghirardistudio for your (two!) gorgeous shoots, and @jellison22@jackiedaly_designeditor for lobbing this very delicious commission my way.

class="content__text" We got there in the end @sharanpasricha ..! In tomorrow’s @fthtsi - the man behind @ennismore , the fastest-growing player in the fastest-growing segment in the hospitality industry. We talked playlists and dress codes (and lack thereof), emerging neighbourhoods and entering the Saudi market. And lederhosen, and Rough Trade Records, and neo-Jacobean architecture and tequila, and lots of other things (it was a fun interview). Link to the piece is in my stories.

class="content__text" Tanti auguri a te, my beautiful goddaughter. You’re tall(er) and 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and a fireball of 17-yr-old talent now, who can outwit and -sass me many many times over. But inside you still lurks this little peanut. I’m far away, and you’re growing up too fast. I’ll always love you with my whole madrina heart, and be waiting for you with open arms and Kinder eggs when you decide to hop a plane to the motherland. @francescaricciarini
