Lovely Linda
If only Marigold were as good as choosing winning Lottery numbers, as predicting the Hell’s K sweepstake. Linda was a worthy winner – elegant, gracious and despite having played a lead role in one of the world’s mosts famous soaps, refreshingly ‘unstarry’. But one of the most surprising things about this series, the like of which often brings out the worst in people, was … Read More »
BEACH HUTS
A dear friend of ours has rented a beach hut, well I have to tell you its fantastic, I went for tea in said beach hut and am jealous beyond believe I LOVE IT, wish I had done the same thing when kids were little, it was a perfect afternoon in the sea breeze in comfy seats and tea on plates and drinks in … Read More »
A Kitchen Quartet
And then there were four. So who will go tonight? One of my pet hates these days is the way some people’s voices – usually young – go up at the end of each sentence, as if its a question. And Niomi, you fall into that camp! So Marigold’s sweepstake would be: 1st Linda – a great role model and a true lady2nd Ade … Read More »
It’s pants!
I don’t claim to have the insider fashion knowledge of my learned friend Cupcake, but I like to think I know what looks good. I believe some of the world’s best fashion is found in Britain, a lot of it on our humble High Street. I also don’t subscribe to the idea that everyone in Europe is effortlessly stylish – I’ve seen some pretty … Read More »
Hell’s Kitchen
I’m totally obsessed with Hell’s Kitchen. Its compulsive, and no, it’s not the delicious food or even Marco ,who despite looking like Yasser Arafat, has given a whole new catwalk look to the humble tea towel. Its Grant and Anthea. ‘Granthea‘, ‘Grantheagate‘ or even plain ol‘ Mr and Mrs Bovey. Love them or hate them, and I’m in neither camp, they completely fascinate me … Read More »
It’s not fair
The organic fairtrade mini easter eggs I bought (and ate) from Marks and Spencers weighed 120 grams. Take away the enticing turquoise foil wrapping and the three eggs that fell on the floor (lucky labrador!), and I reckon that gives you just over 100 grams. In old money, and in my domestic science classes from school, that was about 4 oz. So why, why, … Read More »
LOUBOUTIN RED SIGNATURE
I am almost dead certain that the only shoe designer who has THE VERY FAMOUS signature of red under each boot or shoes is LOUBOUTIN…. so I was very surprised as I walked by the telly earlier and saw ‘stacy slater’ from eastenders wearing black knee high’s with… yep you guessed it, red from heel to toe ‘underneaths’ of her trendy high boots…. how … Read More »
IN THE TIMES THIS WEEK
Have just read in the Times…. quote from ROBERTO CAVALLI the Fashion Designer“I love poor people. I am glad of the recession. Something needed to break. Too many people making too much money”there speaks a man who, I am guessing, has no worries about how to pay his mortgage this month!

I’m no politician but…
No doubt we’ll be reading about Barack and Michelle Obama’s visit to London for many months. Regardless of the result of the G20 summit, there will be comment about her clothes, her arms, his smile, their security, and no doubt, what it’s all cost the UK taxpayer. But comment aside, isn’t it just great to see two people so apparently comfortable in their own … Read More »
I want to scream!
It’s Saturday and my man and I are exploring the back streets of a bijou town. The sun disappears and the rain comes suddenly, but oh joy, the doorway we choose to dive into happens to belong to one very delicious jewellery shop. An assistant inside is looking at a computer screen. Hello I say, and smile. Hello she says, and continues looking at … Read More »
