The idea of eating out in Knightsbridge makes me think of fusty tea rooms and cheesey bars – there’s nowhere really around that has the right cache for my eclectic taste. Off Knightbridge there are some great old pubs but the area has been taken over by what I can only describe as high street [...]

We’ve just spent two days at Disneyland Paris and two days recovering have now had our Disney fix for another year or so. I am a lover of anything kitsch and pop, so Disney really does it for me – you can’t beat the iconic images of Mickey Mouse around the place and the great [...]

For those humbugs who say community spirit has gone down the pan, well I say, have a look around you and you might just have to get involved to find out where it’s at. We had our Summer street party a couple of weekends ago and it was a brilliantly organised day with everyone mucking [...]

One of the biggest changes in shopping in recent years has been the mash up of bargain hunting consumers, driven by the credit crunch, and social media.  We all want more, a lot more, for a lot less without sacrificing on quality or quantity.  A handful of small start ups are helping this happen and [...]

I love ordering flowers but I often feel a bit disappointed by the selection on offer from the mainstream flower delivery companies so I do tend to shop about for something a little bit unusual. I may think again however, as Interflora has come out with a range which taps into the new prom trend. [...]

There seems to be a lot of controversy around the subject of being paid to blog or taking money from brands to create content. How did this ever happen? I may have jokingly referred to Mummy bloggers as BUMs on Radio 4 Woman’s Hour last week but I felt that the Blogging Unpaid Mums Society [...]

My gallery contribution is inspired by one of the most wistful books I ever read.   It’s by Antoine de St Exupéry and called The Little Prince (or Le Petit Prince to those of you who have read it in French). For those of you who know the book you might find this picture resonates [...]

Katie Lee is the UK blogger that has really moved things along in social media, and not only that, she’s made massive inroads into demystifying the bastion of the male species, the ‘gadget’, by creating her own blog about consumer tech which is aimed at women. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her a [...]

After much giggling and the odd tear shed, I have drawn a line in the sand and placed a bet with Miniminx for £100 (of Game of Life money I might add). The best is over whether she can sit through the film Lassie Come Home without shedding a tear. I don’t think for a [...]

Remember Tron? Well here’s a reminder if you don’t; wasn’t it great? And another one is coming out soon, 28 years after the first one. This is one film I can’t wait to see, TRON Legacy. Jeff Bridges, one of my favourite actors reprises his role as Flynn; and he’s been stuck in void for [...]

Yesterday was a big day for Mummy Bloggers – several of us got a shout out and interview on Radio 4 Womans Hour. That’s a big deal. Mombloggersclub was on twitter last night exclaiming that Mum Bloggers must be in the news as the site suddenly had a load of traffic – so the news [...]

I went to see Eclipse; in fact I was lucky enough to be at the London gala premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square. I fell in love with the whole Twilight saga and swiftly caught up on the other two movies from the series. Robert Pattinson and Kirsten Stewart are the new Johnny Depp and [...]
