Heavenly succession: Who might wear the white cassock next?

With Pope Francis’ passing, the sacred whisper of succession has begun to echo through the marble halls of the Vatican. From the corridors of Rome to the cathedrals of Africa and Asia, at least 15 cardinals are considered “papabili” – those with a real shot at the papacy.

First Impressions of “Death in Florence”

In Death in Florence, Marco Vichi crafts a haunting Italian noir where relentless rain, a missing child, and the devastating floodwaters of the Arno merge into a mystery as powerful as it is unforgettable.

World Veterinary Day felt like the right moment to World Veterinary Day felt like the right moment to ask this. 🥼🩺🐾

We talk about boarding passes, carriers, airline rules…
but very rarely about what our dogs actually feel when they travel.

So I asked our vet one simple question:

what’s the most overlooked thing when travelling with a dog?

His answer honestly changed how I think about it.

Watch the reel to hear it — especially if you travel with your dog ✈️🐾

Save this before your next trip
and send it to a dog mum who always over-prepares (we know one… or we are one).

Yes, with @kmmaltairlines you can actually fly with your dog in cabin — and once you do it, there’s no going back.

Roy’s first stop? Italy… because obviously 🍝

If you’ve been thinking about travelling with your pup, take this as your sign.

✨ Save this for your next trip
✨ Send it to someone who’d never travel without their dog
✨ Comment “ROY” and I’ll share everything you need to know before flying together

Turning guests into little works of art 🎨✨ There’ Turning guests into little works of art 🎨✨

There’s something about capturing a moment in real time — a dress, a mood, a glass of prosecco in hand — and turning it into something you can actually take home.

I’ll be doing this live at a very special event… Roy won’t be joining me for the sketching part (he’d absolutely steal the spotlight), but it feels even more meaningful knowing it’s in support of animal rescue. 🐾🫶🏻

Would you have this at your event?

Wait… did you notice the new logo? ✨ Pups, Paint Wait… did you notice the new logo? ✨

Pups, Paint & Prosecco just had a little glow-up.

But the design actually hides a tiny story:

🎨 the paint splashes
🥂 the ring a prosecco glass leaves behind
🐩 and the tiny boss in the middle

Consider this a little teaser for the next chapter.

More stories, more adventures with Roy, and a few exciting things quietly brewing.

Follow along @pupspaintandprosecco 🐩👩🏻‍🎨🥂
