The Launch of Angada Yoga at the Chelsea Club I have dabbled with yoga and depending on the instructor love it or hate it … off with my mat and some oldies at the local village hall with cold drafts, snoring and the occasional farting is not my idea of blissing out… but now The Chelsea Club has launched Angada Yoga… I am heartened.. 5,000 year old yoga combining movement and meditation… will I see you there? “The Chelsea Club at Stamford Bridge has launched Angada Yoga at new spa, Antara. This unique form of yoga, based on 5,000 year old Ayurvedic principles, combines movement of … Read More »
Congratulations to Tim, the deserved 2011 Masterchef champion. He may not serve my kind of food, but there is no doubting his amazing inspiration, inventiveness and sheer energy. Quite how he produced so many dishes all looking so effortlessly elegant in such restricted time I have no idea. He’s definitely comes from the Harry Potter school of cookery. My heart goes out Sarah and Tom, the runners up, two chefs whose food I’d readily pay good money to eat. It must be incredibly hard to return to real life after such an experience, but I’m pretty sure the phone is already ringing for them. Only another few months for … Read More »
MASTERCHEF After weeks of culinary masterpieces and disasters and moments of triumph and tears, Tim, Tom and Sarah will learn tonight which of them has won the coveted Masterchef 2011 trophy. Each week throughout the series I’ve been pinning my hopes on lovely Sarah, whom I hope if ever I have to be in intensive care is the nurse at my bedside, so tonight she will be my hot favourite. But I’d be equally happy for Tim with his amazing inventiveness or Tom with his passion for detail to win, and for the first time, I don’t think there is a clear winner this year. Even though … Read More »
Get dimple free skin with the help of the MÁDARA ‘Flower Attack’ Anti-cellulite Set For the last few weeks I have been using this amazing product… (no I am not being paid to say that!) let me just describe it to you… it comes in three parts, the first is the deep cleansing shower step, it feels like pure silk on my skin, it has a really fabulous soapy lather, then the anti cellulite cream, again a beautiful light texture, you don’t get left with a sticky goopy skin that makes putting cloths on hard…. and third is the delish firming oil with a fresh smell of oranges, again … Read More »

Here is a selection of pieces that make a … Read More »
My must see TV series of the moment has to be Lewis. The follow up to Morse, this sees Kevin Whately and his sidekick Laurence Fox solve murders amongst the glittering spires of Oxford. Great humour, fabulous locations, glittery casts, slick one-liners and wonderful chemistry between the two leads. Think Midsommer Murders with a PHD. Sunday evenings are made. marigold x

A MORAL/ETHICAL DILEMMA…. USED AS PART OF A JOB INTERVIEW You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus: 1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. 2. An old friend who once saved your life. 3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. A moral/ethical dilemma Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car? Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that … Read More »
This artist is one of my most favorite painters in the world… CHRIS MAY, I have been a fan for the last 15 years or so and avid collect over of those years. I have watched his style changed and grow, I still love my early ‘collect-ables’ as much now as I did when I bought them, and I just love all his new work too, keeping up is always a wonderful journey. You can’t see from these pictures the true quality of the brush work and his amazing sense of colour, it is very subtle….I know if you look on his web site www.chrismayart.co.uk you will find such an amazing … Read More »
