I’d racked my brains for something to get Sandra for her birthday. She’s always so creative with her gifts, and I wanted to show how much she meant to me. In the end, I fell back on the gringo strategy of spending money. Our friends had been to a Hestonesque restaurant that Sandra was keen to try, and her birthday seemed to be the perfect occasion. It didn’t disappoint. The photos speak for themselves: chocolate exfoliation, fairy floss with syrup to taste, dishes made to be licked and a misty morning in the coffee plantations. I had almost as much fun as Sandra did.
