A Celebration of Marie Colvin
Is it right that this live wire of a woman, the strong woman amongst all the male war reporters with her rasping laugh, is dead? It seems impossible.
The Fortress on the Hill
Mallorca was always a blot on my Mediterranean landscape. Too many families, and not enough luxury. Then came Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa, and changed my perspective.

An Instinct For Kindness
When asked to review this new play, my heart sank. Even an upbeat person with a sunny disposition can't help but shrink back when being faced by a drama based on a man named Chris Larner who helps his wife die in Switzerland, one of the 190 Brits to have chosen the Dignitas option.
Brocket Hall: Stay Close
By the end of April, we generally yearn to get out of London, and out of the grey misery that is April showers London. And this year, as that had arrived after our fabulously balmy March, it was time to go...somewhere.

If you've set foot in London in the past few weeks, you'll have seen them: a beautifully glittering one covered in coins in Mount Street, a gorgeously painted one in St James Park, Fabergé styles in Piccadilly and Oxford Street. There are eggs, eggs, everywhere.

The Great and the Good of London had assembled in their chicest attire to help out a very good cause last Friday. Some splendid frocks on display, and only a smattering of women paying homage to the limits of plastic surgery.
The Shard Comes to the Royal Opera House
For those of you familiar with the upheaval created in London Bridge by the now-famous 'Shard', the 71-floor glass building nearing completion after what seems like years of mayhem, you may have a sense of deja vu in a new production opening at the Royal Opera House.
The Salt Cave
We all have heard - far too often - about some magic thing that will make us healthier and happier. As such, I approached the newest approach to allergy/asthma/OCPD treatment with healthy skepticism.
