April 2026 Vol. Nº29
With the arrival of spring, I am reminded just how important it is to truly rest and reset. For without a season of solitude and hibernation, there is no rebirth. No baby lambs taking their first determined steps in the tender green grass, no newly hatched birds sprinkling fragments of fragile blue toned shells below budding branches. Without the starkness of wintertime, we would not know how to properly appreciate the emerging bulbs with their perfectly timed blooms – proof that seasons always come when we need them most. A seasonal lesson that it is out of the darkest days of a frostbitten winter, that the warmth and perfect freshness of spring is felt so keenly. As the season slowly comes to life, we are gifted with the much needed reminder that sometimes, like the emerging blooms, we simply need to take our time. Take a moment to enjoy the littlest things and take a deep breath of sweet springtime air.

Spring on my mind

Twenty Hours at Dromoland Castle. A fairytale brought to life, this 16th century castle with endless parklands and stunning woodlands was the taste of spring I so desperately needed. With elegant dining rooms and impossibly inviting decor, it seems my time there was straight out of an oil painting.
An Edinburgh Picnic. With Edinburgh Castle in the background, a Scottish tweed blanket, some proper fish and chips and a classic novel, traveling just got a whole lot more curated — Jet set with a taste of Le Supper Club.
Spring, a season that is designed for thoughtful, intentional mornings and to inspire imaginative scenes that are impossible to forget. Le Supper Club’s take on April is a much needed reminder that life is meant to be enjoyed. Meant to be joyful and full of play and vibrance and a bit of storytelling.
The World is Our Oyster
A diner party under the sea. A celestial inspiration where seashells whisper a fantastic story and the tablecloth shimmers like the light dancing through crystal blue waters. A dinner party designed to make us feel like sirens, draped in iridescent silk dresses, fingers wrapped around delicate stems of impossibly chic shell wine glasses that hum the song of the ocean with every sip – this is a tantalizing scene, calling us to the sea. With piles of pearls spilling out from the pink hollow of a murex shell and sealife slowly encrusting the silver candelabras, it feels as though we have been transported to the bottom of the ocean. A vision inspired by the idea of an elegant ballroom of a shipwreck where a sunken table stands still against the hands of time, the nature of the sea quietly taking over, transforming the elegant setting from one originally enjoyed by humans into something otherworldly. Something worthy of the deep blue sea.
A Slow Spring Morning in Bed
Spring has arrived. Mother Nature, slowly waking up from her wintertime slumber, has begun to bloom and stretch into a new season. There is a sense of tenderness with the delicate blossoms of spring’s early flowers, branches budding to life with pale pinks and soft greens quietly emerging from sleepy winter browns. It is a season that encourages gentle starts bathed in butter yellow sunshine, moments filled with intention and just the right amount of sweetness. A time where slow mornings feel most natural.
Lace Pasta and Caviar
In a world where mindlessly scrolling while slipping further into the algorithm void has become an inescapable ritual, I feel it is imperative that we uncover little bits of joy for ourselves and rediscover a life full of creativity. Curating moments that make the day-to-day feel less monotonous and more like reaching into an almost forgotten pocket of extraordinary is at the forefront of my mind these days. Over the past few years I have devoted much of my energy towards making slices of my life feel sensational. From falling in love with dating myself to hosting iconic dinner parties that feel impossibly magical, I have not shied away from intentional living.
