When Mr AMR and I first had Angelica, we vowed never to take a holiday abroad for at least five years. Just getting to Sainsbury's was enough of a faff - getting her into the car seat, getting her out again for a feed and a change, stopping for another feed halfway...
Ah, two days Off Grid. And I know that I'm grossly misusing the term "off grid" here, but it sounds exciting and dramatic and you all know how I love a bit of over-dramatisation. What I mean to say, really, is 2 Days Away on Holiday, but online reviews of The Scarlet...
I think that OM Skincare's Mindful Traveller is a fabulous idea: a gorgeous, sleek bottle that houses travel-friendly amounts of OM's Pure Glow Cleanser and Daily Radiance Moisturiser. I call it a bottle, but it's not really - it's a lightweight tube, with two little...
I think - and I say this tentatively because there are so many beautiful hotels and brilliant restaurants in London - but I think that The Beaumont Hotel and its restaurant, The Colony Grill Room, might just have sailed up to the top of my recommendations list. I...
Never before had I been in such dire need of a break. Avid readers will have heard me bang on about my desperation to go on holiday many times, this year, but somehow - what with work commitments and baby stuff and Mr AMR never being free at the right moment - time...
Last week I stayed over at the London Edition Hotel on Berners Street. I've often had meetings at the Berners Tavern, the restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel (an amazingly decadent affair with high ceilings and framed paintings covering every inch of the...
Bonus post! Here's what I packed in my new suitcase for my trip to France. (The first one. For the second I might well be taking my little carry-on case, so that wouldn't be an interesting video. It's only large enough to hold one pair of shoes, one book and one...
I'm back from "South-of-France Round One": and what a brilliant trip. Chanel hot air balloons, dashing men opening doors for me and a gorgeous new No5 fragrance to tell you about, once I get a moment to write things up. I now have just twenty-four hours at home before...
I'm doing a bit of globetrotting this week. Actually, it's more like France-trotting, or even, if we're getting really specific, south-of-France-trotting. I'm in Grasse until Wednesday night and then at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday and Saturday. The Grasse trip...
Spend a week at Tregoose, a light and spacious house on a hill looking over the beautiful beach at Polzeath, and you'd quite literally have the thighs and bottom of a Victoria's Secret model. The road to the beach is short but satisfyingly steep; one return journey...
Goodness, what an incredibly lazy post to begin the week with; but if I don't post this vlog up now I'll forget and then where will we be? Vlogless! A word which in English means without vlog and in Klingon means prepare for light speed. Vlogless. I had a wonderful...
This rather funky gift card from Mr & Mrs Smith came through my letterbox the other week - a "dummy" version, sadly, but it did whet my appetite for a spot of overseas travel. I've been a member of the Mr & Mrs Smith hotel website for years now - I book nearly...
