I’ve obviously fallen off Forman & Field’s mailing list, as haven’t had a catalogue fro them in an age. But scanning the website I saw that they were offering a hamper of Easter essentials. Which I have to admit seems like a great idea for those strangest of food lovers, those who don’t like chocolate. [...]

Apologies to those who were reading my posts last year, as I did write something similar after the horror of finding the Kids Treat frozen food hamper, but hopefully a year on, a whole heap of other interesting options have materialised to write about.

The British summer calendar clicks on, and today sees the start of Henley Regatta. I’ve always thought Henley sounded splendidly civilised, a bit like the cricket at Lords, just with more water.

Being of the nosey/curious type, I love looking at the search terms people have put in to get to the blog.

We were discussing my slightly obscure taste in fragrance last night, which does tend to often include those that to some smell like an ashtray. I have an absolute passion for Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, but can be found sniffing the original Dolce & Gabbana for Men with it’s leather and cigar smoke notes. [...]
