Joan Rivers once said that if you go out to dinner with anyone apart from yourself you should have at least 3 good stories to tell. That is excellent isnt it? I am lucky that when I dine out, whether it be with my lovely clients or friends, soon-to-be friends etc, there is never that awkward slience. Everyone has an interesting tale to tell. But I have been in situations where I have seen people squirm with embarassment, desperately thinking, ‘what can I say?”, what can I say?’. I usually cant bear those silences and jump in with something.
3 things, take them with you – regale, delight and enthrall!
Where have I been lately? Well I went to La Gavroche (thank you so, so much Mr!) – totally amazing and a new contender for my best restaurant in the UK (world actually), also went to Corrigans in Mayfair and had a schnitzel off a food stall on Portobello market, see how versatile I am? I will be in so much in trouble for that! (sorry mum and all my teachers) Oh and a couple of restaurants that I went to with some friends that were ok but not worth a mention.
Do you remember me enthusing about the foodie market that happened in Plymouth once a year? Well, they happen every week here in London. Yes!! Ive been to Pimlico market and Borough Market and all manner of fab deli’s. If ever there was an opportunity to be greedy, it is here. Off to the gym then. x

I have a friend who values his time immensely. And so he should; he is a very worthwhile individual. I have learnt some things from him but I have to keep reminding myself of those things.
Life can be mundane, of course. Here’s a boring story but it proves a point. I ordered some household items via direct delivery from a very well-known supermarket. Just some odd things that you need around the house, nothing special just practical stuff. They sent me the wrong things. Now I dont have a car anymore because I am now a London gal :), I cant simply jump in and drive to the supermarket and return them. No its a little trickier than that. I look at the returns policy and they say I can return it to any store that begins with a T and ends in an O. You know who it is now dont you? :) So, I traipse down to the nearest store, after phoning them of course, to check that they will take it back. ‘Oh yes’ they say. So, duly traipsing (do you traipse too?) – quick diversion – I was trying on a pair of heels in shoe shop recently and the guy serving me was a transvestite. ‘Nothing wrong with that’ you say, but he said to me. ‘Oh you didnt half mince when you walked over to the mirror’ Trying to be keep my balance love, trying to keep my balance, and while we are at it, kettles and pots, kettles and pots :)
Anyway, I digress, where was I? Oh yes, so off I go to return said items only the manager says ‘No, cant do it, cant take them here’. ‘Grrrr, but I phoned’ I protest ‘And someone said yes I could’ ‘Well that shouldn’t have happened’ he said (I swear I am going to have that inscribed on my tombstone or at least on a t-shirt). So off I trudge (I traipse when I think I am on the right track and trudge when I think I am not) all the way home. The ‘manager’ had told me that I should take it to this big T miles away and I was going to do it, forgot the bag though on the way to a sunday lunch. So, I plan another day to do it and I phone the store. ‘No, even though we are a massive superstore, selling everything in the world you can imagine, you cant bring it here’ he smugly says. Hmmm I detect a conspiracy.
So I call (hahaha) customer services (hahaha) and they say ‘Oh dear, you have been given the run around havent you?, that shouldn’t have happened‘ ‘Let us pick it up from you instead’ ‘Great!’ I say lovingly. ‘You have to stay in though, for the courier’ ‘Of course!’ I gush. ‘What time? shall we say 11am?’ ‘Oh no, no, no’ says satan in a tabbard. ‘For 12 hours, 7am until 7pm’ My heart sinks. ‘Cant you be more specific?’ say I ‘No, it is out of our hands’ she says. So I took the day off and I waited, and waited, and waited FOR TWELVE WHOLE HOURS.
Just imagine what you could get up to in 12 hours. Actually I did, we could fly to San Francisco or the Caribbean, be on a beach before you know it sipping Mai Tai’s saying ‘ T****? Who on earth (or put in the expletive that resonates with you) is that?
You know it, dont you? The courier didnt turn up. ‘That shouldn’t have happened‘ they said when I called after a few days of cooling off.
The point is though, I wasted roughly around 15 hours of my life for what? Around £50.
So when they asked me if I wanted another courier booked, I took a deep calm breath and said; ‘No thank you, life is too short’

I hope you had a good weekend my darlings, mine was very hectic – just how I like it :)
I went to the Saachi gallery in Chelsea and I know its ever so fashionable to be into modern art, and although I found it interesting, would I have any of those pieces in my home?, probably not. As I say though, very interesting. I was with a few gals and so didnt get a chance to really examine everything as long as I would like (they spotted a cake shop :) but then again I think someone once said that art has to touch you, if not then the piece is not for you. Modern art though strikes me as being a bit different. Sublminal messages if you like. I did some deconstruction of film when I was at uni and it reminded me of that.
I also went on a London ghost tour. Whooooooooo. Oh yes, I love anything like that, gory, gory, gory. Dont worry though, I dont have gory tendancies towards you young man, just step into my lair, thats it… hahaha
Anyway, it was as mad as you like, this tour. They had actors who were meant to give atmosphere to the thing but it was like being sat next to the nutter on the bus, you know the one and he always chooses you. A really funny time though :)
And then I went to Nobu – I told you I was busy didnt I? You know Nobu, that top Japanese restaurant on Park Lane that all the celebs go to (Victoria Beckham’s favourite, I hear). We didnt see any celebs but we did spend a very pleasant afternoon munching through 7 courses – they were tiny, honest!!
It looks like another busy week for me chaps, I may have a teeny space in my diary over the weekend, failing that it will be 9 or 17 March. See you soon?
PS Spring is coming, I can feel it!

As much as I sympathise with poor Cheryl Cole, and I really do, bless her heart. I could not help smile at this. I heard it tonight.
‘It’s not Ashley’s fault. He thought she meant ‘Girls Allowed”

Are undoubtedly some of the best in the world (the best possibly?) but what is it with the service charge? I know its been around for ages and you probably dont even think about it. But let’s think about it. I always assumed that the cost of a meal included someone actually bringing it to you (call me old fashioned :) If you thought that the person bringing the items to the table was quick, friendly, knowledgable etc etc, you may consider slipping him or her a little something on the side, to say ‘Thanks for looking after me’. An incentive to be nice, that kind of thing.
But no, now there is a 12.5% service charge slapped on the bill automatically. Can you imagine going to see a ‘lady’ and her saying ‘Oh that will be an extra 12.5% because I opened the door and let you in’? Ive seen worse though. When I was in California for a few months, you could not get a second drink in a bar unless you gave a dollar tip – every single time you had a drink. Every time, regardless of whether the service was poor, mediocre or diabolical. They totally ignored you without the flash of a greenback but if they did deign to glance in your direction, the look they gave, honestly, turn a hot chick to stone it would. Madness.

A fella once said to me, ‘Oh, have you had a power cut?’ because of all the lovely candles I had alight in my place. Hahaha , honestly! :) Actually it was just in the boudoir in that instance, but I have candles all over, everywhere. Yes even in my bathroom. If you are a regular visitor or even an irregular visitor you will know that already. I love them. Scented ones are my favourite but I like normal candles too, I even have a soft spot for t-lights – there you are.
Now like most things in life, there are candles and then there are Candles.
Top of the pops for candles has to be…
Diptyque – oh my!
Originally a Paris interior design store, Diptyque made the scented candle into a modern day cult classic. Founded by three friends, it was their collective love of travel, particularly to the Far East and Africa, that first inspired the exotic range of scents. Initially created as a finishing touch to their interior designs, their stunning range of scented candles has gone on to be famous around the world.
Now then, Diptyque has many facets. You must buy Freesia for day; John Galliano for fabulous occasions; Tubereuse for candlelit dinners, Baises (berries) in black wax for seduction.
How do I know all this? Dont ask ;)
The other beauty in the candle world is Jo Malone, clean, elegant look and clean elegant scents. Heavenly.
Besides all of this, candlelight is romantic, seductive, and scents are erotic and enticing, what a heady combination. Mr M brought me candles the other day. They smell of White Cocoa Truffle. Thanks Mr M :) x
I think I am addicted to candles. Oh, I feel a shopping trip coming on….

I had my new photos taken today (no, not by that lot to the left, can you imagine!!?!, what a nightmare)
No by my lovely lady photographer. I have to spend the next few days looking them over and I shall pick eight that I like. I have had a quick look before she left and there is one that stands out and I think it will be my favourite. There is always one, you know, one that becomes your favourite. The last photoshoot I had with her, this one became my favourite.
I loved it so much I put it everywhere! Some fellas have said they prefer other pics in my gallery, thats good, nice to have some variety. Thats why I had my last lot taken in New York but I didnt like them as much as my London photographer’s efforts, see if you can tell the difference.
You will have to be patient for a few days though my sweetpeas, for the new ones, but I think (hope) you will like them. They will be added to my gallery too so the old ones wont disappear, just more for you to look at. x

I am doing it this year. The English Social Season. I can do it all in one year now; Now that I am here, in London.
So we start off with The Chelsea Flower Show and then Glyndeborne, Epsom and Royal Ascot, oh and the polo (love Cartier), Wimbledon, Henley Regatta, Cowes (oh no, I have to leave London!) and the Last Night of the Proms. Have I forgotten anything?, emails and comments are gratefully received.
I am like that, I will do them all in one year. I once went to all the music festivals (well, most of them) around the UK during one summer. Great fun. Well, it has to be done doesnt it? and then you have tales to tell, makes you a little bit interesting you see. I just need some fine chaps to send some invites my way re: The Season ;) Oh and I need a new frock (or two) and a hat.
PS. Available post-photo shoot on the 14th – yes Valentine’s Day!! – My plans have changed for this day and I am now available so if you would like a lovely private dinner here with moi as the dessert please get in touch. x

Now then, I am old enough to know to giggle at that phrase; ‘Something for the weekend Sir?’ Very saucy that used to be. That or I had very old parents who used to laugh at such things (both really :)
”Something for the weekend Sir?” was a delicate phrase that barbers used to say to gentlemen barberees ( I know a another new word I just made up) – fellas having their hair cut and they meant, ‘Would you like a condom, Mister, you know for the weekend?’
Now you may wonder why on earth a barber would ask such a personal question, what a liberty indeed. But in those days and yes it was before I was born but I heard the phrase once as a child on TV I think, and it stuck in the Rhia annals of time. Once again, I digress; barbers would and could ask such questions because 1. there’s were one of the few places to actually sell condoms and 2. because gents (well British ones anyway) only seemed to get lucky at the weekend. Saturday night was traditional I believe, and that was with the wife. Not married? Hmm I think there was a longer wait then, unless you went to a certain Mademoiselle of the night …. :)
Anyway, when I am Doge, I will decree that everyone in the land shall take at least one week day off to have hanky panky. Do you think living in Westminster has gone to my head? You know the power and all of that?
But can you imagine, sorry boss cant come in tomorrow its my hanky panky day. And no the world would not come to a grinding halt because people would then be happy to carry on working the rest of the week, you see? The whole nation will be filled with happy, whistling chappies, oh yes. this fair land will be even fairer then.
Where has all of this come from??, I hear you ask. Well, today after a wonderful lunch in a private members club with Mister x, we spent a very decadent afternoon, fab wine, lots of giggles… and I got to thinking, well why doesnt everyone do this more often? How naughty, how relaxing, how lovely. It would save the NHS millions by eliminating stress-related problems too. Oh yes I can see it now, Harriet Harman launches the campaign for Hanky Panky! No?, cant see it? :)
PS. I am about to take Burlesque lessons!
PPS. Photo shoot on Saturday!!
