Behind the glass
From spring into autumn, most mornings begin with Nancy swimming in the Serpentine, in water most people would call bracing, before turning up to breakfast glowing about it. She is 170 cm and curvy. The hair is a long sweep of golden blonde, the eyes a bright clear blue, and the overall effect is the last good week of summer. Her clothes are relaxed but finished: a white dress, gold sandals, a denim jacket for when the sun drops.
Call her sunny if you like; energetic is closer to the truth. She walks fast, laughs out loud and plans road trips on paper napkins. Her laugh carries right across a lobby, in the best possible way. Early thirties, English speaking, she has an easy manner that turns shy people chatty. She has driven the coast road around Cornwall twice, eats sushi at least once a week, and believes most problems can be solved by going outside for an hour.
Westward is the direction of her W1 day, along Oxford Street to Marble Arch and straight on into Hyde Park. In warm weather it finishes at the Serpentine, where she points out the swimmers' jetty and describes the morning's temperature in cheerful detail. Then an early table for sushi in a Marylebone hotel dining room, and a stroll back past the shop fronts as the window displays light up.
Nancy lives in Covent Garden, fifteen minutes by cab from anywhere along Oxford Street. Midweek is usually open; for a Saturday or Sunday, ask by Wednesday. Message booking with the date you are thinking of.

Nancy after dark
Five o'clock at the arch, sunglasses on, and she has a plan: park first, food second, everything else after. She walks you across to the water and down to the lido end, where the late swimmers are towelling off, and tells you with obvious pride how cold it was this morning.
The sun drops behind the trees and the light turns gold. That is her favourite ten minutes of any day, and she stops talking to watch it. Then dinner, sushi at a counter so you can follow the knife work, and a conversation that runs from a road trip to a restaurant you must try to the week she got lost in the Highlands and loved every minute. She is easy company, quick to laugh, and she makes an ordinary Tuesday feel like a short holiday.
Nancy, asked
Cold enough to make you shout, warm enough to make you go back tomorrow. In September it is almost pleasant, which is the dangerous part.
The coast road round Cornwall in September, windows down, no plan beyond the next pasty and the next beach.
Salmon first, always, then whatever the chef suggests. I trust a good counter completely, and I always thank the chef in person.
What guests wrote
This pane has no guest notes yet. They go up after genuine bookings only, once the desk has checked them; each carries a first name and when it was written, nothing explicit, and Nancy can ask for any of them to come off the glass.
