You can see what he does <a href="http://www.delb.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a>. He was just naturally standing like this when I saw him and had great presence. He is wearing a Jones jacket, in his jacket is what used to be known as a snuff hanky which has a clover leaf design of 3 spots together. They were always dark in colour because of the nature of snuff. He bought his online. The top is an original Bretton Armor Lux,  he couldn't remember where he bought his shorts and his boots are Hunters.<br />When I asked for a surprise he said "I am a very modern person, although I don't look it".

Viva has also known the Port Eliot festival since 18981 when is was originally called The Elephant Fayre and this year was managing the Bowling Green. I asked her a few questions the 1st was who or what was her style influence her reply was " <span>I think Vivienne Westward is a genius I love her work but being the size I am I can only wear the things that fit my extremities." Her wonderful dress was designed by</span> <span>Theo Clinkard who now designs for opera and ballet. She also had red Vivienne Westwood wellies on under her dress and was carrying a Vivienne Westwood bag. </span></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>I then asked Viva about her favourite place and she said "</span><span>I am a Londoner and I think London is so beautiful but I also love my lovely home not far from St. Germans</span>." <span> </span></span> </div>
