Everything we experience forms a part of who we are and what we do and therefore what we offer. We rely heavily on the arts to inspire us and this is critical to us as individuals as well as a business.
Everyone at Creamer and Lloyd has their own budget for research and inspiration. On a regular basis we share on our website the best experiences we’ve had.

We walk in to shops where Ollie hasn't been for a year. And it's as if they've been waiting for him all this time. Not a beat is missed, conversations resume, chai is brought out. The thread of the relationship is not broken by distance or time.

Low tide would reveal a golden kelp. But I didn't know there were so many golds. Every day I waited for the water to go.
Ignore the coast (Nice, Cannes, Antibes) and head inland to the hill villages of which this is one. Fantastic views, unspoilt streets, shaded squares with boules in progress, artists at work in their studios, great little restaurants.

Crowdless walk up the castle, griddled squid with chopped garlic and parsley and a glass of local white wine. Low season in la Costa Brava is a wonderful thing.
Unexpectedly fabulous food. The interactivity in the Nobel Peace Centre was superb. We delighted in what it did as well as what it said.

Never been this time of year. The vines glow gold. The olive wood bonfires smell sweet
