Sitting Comfortably?

Sitting Comfortably?

Are you sitting comfortably? No, are you? Really? Because I am, but I definitely wasn't before. I have been destroying my back, neck and shoulders for at least two years! My office chair was reasonably comfortable - upholstered, cushioned seat, that kind of thing -...

End of the Sales. Sadface.

End of the Sales. Sadface.

Oh dear, it's the end of the sales. I have that funny sick feeling you get when you've eaten too much chocolate. The Net-a-Porter purchases were brilliant, and I was very happy with my Donna Karan dress and DVF bikini, but as predicted the £30 T-Shirt did go back! If...

Jo Malone London Boxes

Jo Malone London Boxes

Everything has gone a bit London crazy this year, what with the Jubilee and the Olympics. I have avoided all "Union Flag" memorabilia like the plague, but I do very much like the hand-drawn London Landmark idea at Jo Malone. From the 27th July, artists will be...

The Old English Garden, Battersea Park

The Old English Garden, Battersea Park

On Thursday I went to the unveiling of the Old English Garden in Battersea Park. What a delight! It made me want to move to the country and spend my days making daisy chains and listening to the bees! If you ever read The Secret Garden as a child then this garden...

The Difference Between Men and Women.

The Difference Between Men and Women.

 This is my beside table at the hotel we stayed in last weekend. I haven't checked this photo extensively, so I'm hoping that there's nothing weird/rude/untoward going on. I'm pretty sure that I left the bondage gear and nipple tassles at home... But just take note of...

Wet-Wipes for Pets?

Wet-Wipes for Pets?

Ladies, Gentlemen and Furry Friends, I present to you: Pet Wet-Wipes. Something I bet you never knew you needed! I certainly never knew I needed them until Mr Bear (pictured above) decided that one of his favourite places to hide was inside the fireplace. Not great...

Propping Up the (Very Cool and Quirky) Bar…

Calling all PRs and brand managers: a contact for your "little black books"!  Lullaby Inc provide amazing, quirky, fully-bespoke bars for events and parties. They have created tailor-made bars for some of the best events recently, including the Uniqlo and Lulu...

Fornasetti: James Bond is in my Office.

Fornasetti: James Bond is in my Office.

Sorry, went a bit overboard with my title there! But do you like my image? I have decided that - wherever possible, and time permitting - I will try and provide my own images from now on rather than stock images. I used the PR images until now for simple product...

No Room at the Inn.

No Room at the Inn.

There's barely any room left for me on my own chair. "No Room at the Inn", you might say. This isn't because I have inexplicably piled on a load of weight, more that Mr Bear (the kitten, fast becoming huge) has decided that his favourite place to be in the whole house...

Newly Obsessed with Kate Middleton

Newly Obsessed with Kate Middleton

On Sunday I went to the Audi Polo Challenge. I have loads of video footage and photos but am stuck with the lousiest internet connection and so I will have to bring those to you when I'm back in the UK! I have to say that I didn't "get" the fuss surrounding the...

Through my Binoculars….

Through my Binoculars….

Some pictures taken THROUGH my binoculars! (OK, they're not actually my binoculars, they're Mr AMR's. But, as they say, what's his is mine and what's mine is...er...mine, so it's all good.) Mr AMR told me that I wouldn't be able to take a photo of a "binocularfied"...

Audiobook Review: Solar by Ian McEwan

Audiobook Review: Solar by Ian McEwan

I suppose I should just say that this is a book review, but it's not, really. It's most definitely an audiobook review! I'm a voracious reader - I get through a couple of novels a week at least - but for the past year or so I have become quite enamoured with...
