Last Wednesday Ross Jankin, Wells, Rachey Babe and I went to Create, the new social enterprise restaurant in Leeds. Their strap line, ‘Where good food and people matter’, is displayed above the open kitchen set in what could be Google’s offices; chrome meets colourful lights and chairs.
As a non-skier who nonetheless loves ski holidays, I decided to add to my usual schedule of walks, spas and bars in the French resort of Tignes last week, by learning to drive a Husky-drawn sled.
I use the term “drive” loosely – it was more about strong core control (thank you pilates) to balance the sled as the dogs did their stuff and sensible use of the brake to ensure the sled didn’t hurtle into the dogs on downhill runs – but what an incredible, exhilarating experience.
Last week I was lucky enough to visit Moro in Exmouth Market with delightful clients ipostparcels.com and my MCG favs, Rachy Babe and Saz La. It had been on my hit list since I sampled their delicious lamb flat bread at The Long Table.
Like the very kind of friend I am, I bought my friend Hells Bells tickets to see Hamlet at the Young Vic. The play was brilliant with Michael Sheen playing an outstanding Hamlet, but the pre-theatre meal was also a joy.

2 – Energetic goldfish (makes a change)
It has been a busy but exciting few days at MCG where we’ve been working in South London with London College of Fashion graduates to shoot the SS12 Damart Look Book.
Damart’s traditionally known for its thermals and outwear, but is challenging the notion that it doesn’t also cater for younger fashion junkies. Well, how well they’ve challenged it!
Having not had any previous experience at a PR agency before, I was a little apprehensive about what lay ahead but this was all eased when I welcomed with open arms (in the metaphorical sense) and a stream of good coffee (although I did have to surreptitiously call my Mum from the kitchen to ask how to use a сafetière!).
Since reading about Lake Superior State University’s annual survey of the year’s worst cases of word abuse in The Guardian I was inspired to share some of my own. The Michigan university awarded its top prize to the word ‘amazing’, which I don’t find specially offensive and it was followed closely by strong Americanisms such as ‘baby bump’ in second and ‘shared sacrifice’ finishing a close third.
The lovely team at Manifest Communications London invited me to tag along on their Christmas do to Bob Bob Ricard and a girl just can’t turn down an invite like that.
I had been desperate to go to The Long Table, the pop up outdoor food night market in Dalston since hearing about from my friend Yas. I finally made time to go last Friday and it certainly lived up to the hype.
