A Perfect Husband Several men are in the locker room of a squash club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. MAN: “Hello” WOMAN: “Hi Honey, it’s me . Are you at the club?” MAN: “Yes.” WOMAN: “I’m at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It’s only £2,000. Is it OK if I buy it?” MAN: “Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.” WOMAN: “I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one … Read More »

Is anyone else as obsessed as me with Homeland? Sunday nights have changed gear from a gentle TV drama in third gear to full throttle spy/sex/whodunnit/thriller series with absolutely no chance of leaving you with a warm Sunday feeling, but thrusting you head first into the fast lane of Monday morning. Homeland is fast and furious, racy and raunchy yet with surprisingly gentle and tender moments which only serve to enhance the seriousness and frightening probability of the plot. Confused? Ok, we’re talking Washington DC, and an American hostage returned to his native shores after 8 years captivity. Is he ‘turned’, ie now a … Read More »

THE LAST SUMMER, a cracking read…. and we bring it to you before the launch in April 2012. Author JUDITH KINGHORN has skillfully written a beautiful love story that instantly draws the reader in. The first thing that strikes you in the vivid descriptions, you are taken to another place and time, Deyning and the family and friends that live and play there come alive and you feel the grass beneath your feet in the summer of 1914. Deyning Park is in its heyday, the large country house filled with the laughter and excitement of privileged youth preparing for a weekend party. Hard back … Read More »
Last night I went to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I could hardly miss a film about a hotel named after me, could I? With a stellar cast and wonderful shots of Jaipur and Udaipur, it could hardly disappoint. The film was a tuk tuk ride of gentleness, humour and emotion – a group of elderly people looking for something in later life that opportunities and finances would not allow in this country. Fabulous performances by everyone, and I’m sure you’ve heard the cast list – Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Celia Imrie, Penelope Wilton, Tom Whittaker, Dev Patel, Ronald Pickup and … Read More »
I am an avid reader, each birthday and Christmas I am giving books, all sorts of books, lots of books and I am never disappointed… this Christmas my other half gave me ’COMFORT AND JOY’ a novel by INDIA KNIGHT. I follow India on twitter and read her Sunday Times columns, I have read The Thrift Book which I found both witty and helpful…so he was on a safe bet I would enjoy this latest book…I did, very much. I have been asked (on twitter and in real world)…was it good? so here is my short take on it, can’t say the word ‘review’ … Read More »

A lovely sunny day….. what better than to take the day off and popped down to Chichester, West Sussex with a friend and we spent some time in the Pallant House Gallery. The exhibition we both wanted to see is the EDWARD BURRA, it did not disappoint, it opened on the 35th anniversary of his death and runs until February 21st 2012. Of course you can’t take photos of the work but a gorgeous rotund tummied man said I could take a few snaps of the gallery (for this read landing) he was most helpful and rather lovely, he had an overwhelming passion for … Read More »
I’m sure we’re all feeling a few pounds heavier after Christmas, and this time of year is peppered with work out DVD’s, diet tips and the old lose weight fast tricks. So when I heard the words ‘Downsize in Dubai’ mentioned in the background on a certain morning TV programme, my ears pricked up. I’m not looking to lose a lot of weight, but find like many women the whole dieting and weight loss industry fascinating. What I heard reallyshocked me. Apparently viewers choose the contestants from a shortlist of people whom they feel deserve this ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity’ to go to … Read More »

Downton Abbey may have had its share of critics over this last series – too many Ad breaks and too fast moving – but last night’s final episode of this series means Sunday nights just won’t be the same. There can be no better measure of a programme’s success than by knowing it will be sorely missed once over. Downton has filled a gap in our TV viewing, even though the plots have been somewhat suspect at times, and last night’s script was fairly predictable – sorry Lavinia Swire, you were always going to be the poor relation to those Grantham girls and never going to stay the … Read More »

Did anyone else see ‘ Who do you think you are’ last night? It featured Emilia Fox and included the best 5 minutes in television for a long, long time, namely the scene where Emilia visited her great aunts in Cornwall. What a pair of utterly amazing ladies – pure Downton Abbey. Where was Dame Maggie Smith? Catch it now on BBC i player. Wednesday night, BBC 1 at 9.00 pm marigold x
It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s miserable. Summer is well and truly over, financial markets are in disarray, Cupcake’s hard drive is on the blink and she’s lost all e-mail and internet contact and the world is an uncertain place. But the shining light on the horizon is that Downton Abbey is back – don’t forget, ITV, Sunday 18th September at 9.00. Pure TV heaven. If only for an hour, the world can go away. Marigold x

It’s countdown for the last episode – in this series at least – of my current favourite programme, The Hour. Don’t forget to tune in tonight, BBC 2 at 9.00 pm. Tuesday evenings just won’t be the same – thank goodness for the Borgias on Saturday. marigold x

Sex, passion, beauty, twisted plots, palaces, incest, intrigue, family feuds and moral dilemmas. Add sword fighting, manipulative women and acres of sumptuous velvet drapes and dresses, and this is pure TV heaven. Think Dallas meets Ancient Rome with Jeremy Irons as the JR of the Vatican. Forget the unrealistic Disneyesque street sets, just soak up the drama. Saturday BBC2 at 9.00 pm. Compelling. marigold x interesting clip on The Borgias Clip (The Art of War: Neil Jordan) http://www.imdb.com/video/cbs/vi174300441/
