I know I said I wasnt going to be doing too much travelling this year, but I have been bitten by the cold tooth of England -and it hurts :)
I fancy a detox, a spa break – in Thailand (again). However, I dont think I can take the time off. I have been looking though, at different options. Ohhh lovely places. I like Thailand, the last time I went I was backpacking on a year out; this time though, I want a teeny bit of luxury. I think with a spa break it has to be a stunning location where you go, thats therapeutic in itself isnt it? So I fancied a detox. No not like a alcoholic/drug addict detox, although refraining from the champers would not go amiss, I am sure ;) No I mean a serious, ‘get all that rubbish out of my system!’ detox and look and feel fantastic as a result of it.
I have been reading good things about detoxes but they sound absolutely horrific. Colon cleanses (I had one of those a few years back, not too bad, not nice though), nothing to eat but concocted juices ala carrot and beetroot, that sort of thing (will I start to munch on the furniture do you think?), I need to change my attitude – carrot and beetroot mush is GOOD!, massages – thats alright, yoga, fine with that. So not that bad at all really.
The problem is, I have thousands and thousands of flying club points with Virgin Atlantic and I wanted to use them for this but they dont fly to Thailand. They fly to lots of other places, yes but for some reason, it has to be Thailand for me, for this, if I venture abroad, maybe I should look into other places? Sooooo, after more initial research. I saw a place in Devon, a detox place. Didnt I just come from there? :) Devon in February? Not exactly inspiring or relaxing. Brrr. And then I got to thinking, why dont I just do it in London? You know do it myself. Pop out for massages (and yes another colonic), go to yoga classes every morning, blend my own juices, turn up the heating (sorry gas lady) and wear a bikini all week? Yes I could do that. The only problem is temptation. As the wonderful Oscar Wilde said ‘The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it… I can resist everything but temptation’.
I have many temptations here in London as you can imagine. One being getting an email from one of my fellas saying, ‘Ive booked us in at The Ivy, hope you are free lady!’ So what is a girl to do? Keep researching, thats what and do it next month, or the month after? :)

Oh I do like these scream atcha headlines dont I? hehehe Maybe I have missed my vocation and I should have secured a job with ‘The Sun’ or ‘The (my son is a fishfinger) Sport’ – or possibly not :)
Now then, the club I refer to is a wine club. ‘Not before time!’ I hear you shout. The ever-delightful Mr I, recommended the Sunday Times Wine Club. I have been a member of a wine club before and I cant remember why I discontinued my membership, perhaps not enough of the sparkly stuff. Anyway, I decided to join this one and I had my first box delivered today. It looks good, wine tasting notes included and provenance and regular tastings in London too, that suits me!
As I mentioned before I am very keen to pair the perfect wine with the perfect dish and this might just do the trick. Its exciting too getting a delivery, a bit like Christmas. I dont aspire to be a wine bore though. Tell me if I am and I will nip down the ‘offy’ and get you an Asti Spumante tout suite darlin’ :)
Is there such a thing as a champagne club? – takes a minute to check – oh, sadly nothing of note :( Another business opp though for a budding entrepreneur out there?
I forgot to tell you that I did a little tour (not that kind of tour!) around the champagne region in France last year and very delectable it was too. I visited my favourite champagne house – Veuve Clicquot – and had a taste of the Grand Dame vintage. Very different to the normal vintage or the usual champagne that we all know and love and much more expensive, not sure if it is worth it. I went down into the caves where they process and store the precious stuff, they greeted me like an old friend seeing as I buy so much of it (only kidding, they should though :) I didnt bring any back because it was the same price as the UK.
France is glorious in the summer, isnt it? I love it and feel very much at home there whenever I visit. Holidays this year extend to golf in Spain so far. I really want to go to South Africa though if I can and I am going on the Orient Express too. Oh I am so excited about that! And then there’s Ascot and Glyndebourne and The Last Night of The Proms. Its going to be a good year (is that a tyred expression?, ducks for cover, yes I know groan, groan!)

Whew!, I have a lot of things I want to get done by the end of the year and for 2010 too. I have just started to put together my worldwide tour list for next year, I want a new car, I will be moving within a few months and, as if that is not enough, I am investing in some new projects. I like to keep busy but you know I always have time for you darling x
Take a look at my forthcoming tours here. I am here there and everywhere! I have just sent out a newsletter to the fellas on my VIP List as they get advance notice of dates. I am definitely (bookings permitting) going to be in Dubai this December. I know it has taken a little while for me to get things organized for that but I am just about to book flights and accommodation once I hear back from the chaps in Dubai. All booked! Available in Dubai 15-20 December in a beautiful 5 star hotel on Jumeirah Beach.
Quite a few trips planned to the States next year as well, including Las Vegas, New Orleans, California and back to New York City. I am also hoping to spend a month in Sydney too. Perhaps we can meet up on one of those trips? I would love it! x
PS Will also be in London around 4 or 5 times next year, plus Oxford and Manchester, let me know if you would like to meet up, hope so! x

I love these! Crazy signs that people take a quick photo of when they are visiting new places. This one, as soon as I saw it, I thought, ‘That has to be in Australia!’ I wasn’t far off, it is New Zealand. Typical of our Antipodean friends’ brilliant sense of humour though :)
More to come…

I bought this book the other day, in fact it caught my eye when I stopped at the service station at Exeter. There it was. You know what it’s like when something catches your eye, you walk past it, look back and then you decide you have to have it. You fellas will definitely know that feeling after watching women for a year of your life :)
So, this book. It’s a little bit fab. 501 must-visit destinations. One of my gents said, ‘Yes but who decides they are must-visit destinations?’ and he is of course perfectly right, it is subjective but there are some rather wonderful places to inspire you. I was a little crestfallen to find that even though I consider myself an intrepid traveller, I can only tick off a paltry 45 of those 501 must-visit destinations. Have I been going to the wrong places? Have I giddily been ticking off another list? Yes, actually I have – my own. I like the book though, some places in there that are on my to-do list and some I have never even contemplated. Licks end of pencil and pulls out the list…

So I decided to pop away for a nice break – somewhere the bard might feel at home :)
‘Is that a dagger I see before me?’ ‘Yeah gimme your trainers’ – no it wasn’t Liverpool (sorry Liverpool) hehehe
Anyway on a bank holiday friday I find myself trundling up the M5, singing away to Madame Butterfly when lo and behold a queue is forming up ahead. Yes a queue on the motorway. Can you believe that? I had to check that I hadn’t wandered willy nilly onto that nefarious M25. No, I was in Somerset or Zomerset if you happen to have been born there. So to cut a very long story short. I found myself sat in a car park motorway for 8 hours. 8 – WHOLE – HOURS!!!
Why oh why? I hear you cry. Well, someone had decided to try and throw themselves off a bridge and the police had then decided to shut the M5 – on an August Bank Holiday. Yes an August Bank Holiday. The tailback was 20 miles long.
Poor soul, I hear the tender hearted readers out there sob. Yes, and indeed we shall never know what makes someone decide to cause chaos in an attention seeking manner on a hideously busy bloomin’ BANK HOLIDAY!!! Seriously though, people were stuck in their cars, kids in tow for hours and hours with no water, no toilets, no champagne. Couldnt the police have talked, wrestled the guy down in half an hour? What were they doing for 8 hours??? Teaching him macrame? It was pretty bad but do you know what? If that is the worst thing that ever happens to me, well, I shall consider myself lucky. And the fella? Well, I dont know what happened to him but I hope he somehow finds a way through his troubles.
If you were stuck on the M5 last Friday, there is a survivor’s group where you can get counselling. It’s called the Rhia Rehabilitation Project and you can join by emailing rhiacharles@yahoo.co.uk and arranging a session ;) x

I just managed to watch this dvd. I know, I know, I have been wanting to watch it for over a year now! Anyway, I did it and it was good. Thanks Mr N for the gift! x It was more of a love story than I thought it would be, ahhhh. Some great lines in the film too and of course stunning location – Venice. Try and watch it if you can. Its also called The Honest Courtesan for some reason.
Mr M read my post about men’s underpants and bought me a rather fetching pair of Dolce & Gabanna boxers. Hehehehe Very nice they look too, and ever so comfy, maybe I should wear men’s pants all the time ;). Thanks M!
How naughty am I? Only just back from my hols and I am already getting itchy feet. I fancy one of those spa breaks in Thailand or somewhere lush like that. Just a chill out, pamperings, great food and fabulous sunsets. You cant blame me really. Its not as though we have had a great summer (again), I think I blinked when we had those good few days. I get all excited, think this is it and peak too soon. I should appreciate the moment better. I know its a well worn cliche but summers really were better and longer when I was a kid. No I didnt live in the Bahamas (but I may one day :) Ho hum, Im off to check out some holiday sites.
Now you know I dont do quickies, but I couldnt resist…the joke I mean :)
While making love, he says:
- Darling, let’s do 68!
- 68??? What’s that?
- You do it to me and I’ll owe you one.
Hope you are having a good one if you are on holiday xxx

I have seen a few chaps recently who are either about to board the Plymouth to Roscoff Ferry or have just disembarked the ferry back to dear old blighty with Brittany Ferries. Lucky fellas who have super duper holiday homes in France, or happen to live there most of the time. And how lucky am I that they decide to pop in on little ole me en route? I havent been on that ferry or on that particular route for a long while but I do remember from the last time I did, a rather splendid lunch. Yes on a ferry! Of course the chefs are French and of course they would rather cast themselves overboard than serve mediocre food, sacre bleu!! Yes even on a ferry. I have also heard tales that the service stations in France serve the most delicious cuisine, ok not Michelin star quality but more than adequate good food, food you want to hang around for an hour or two to savour (not like ours – ahh therein lies another post/rant methinks :)
The French take their food very seriously. (Did I tell you I was 1/4 French, I think it is the bit where my mouth is :) Now I also sometimes, actually most times, take my food very seriously too. In terms of quality, provenance, cooking style and presentation. I bet you think I talk about food all of the time! - well it is a passion of mine, but I sooo do not want to be a chef :) I just want to partake, if I may?
Sometimes though, I just want a M&S ready meal – quick, nutritious and relatively cheap. I also have to watch what I eat constantly, which can obviously be a real drag, yes, a real drag. I dont like junk food, in fact I hate it. The thought of a Macdonald’s makes me come over all queasy. However, I sometimes crave fish and chips (is that junk?, I dont think it is actually) I allow myself that, fish and chips with tartare sauce twice a year, omg, yum! - I kid you not! I never drink sugary, fizzy drinks. Hell I dont even drink Juice – just water (and ahem, obviously champagne – a girl has to have some vices ;) I dont eat too much chocolate or snacks – only when a kind gent supplies me with them – I have, you may have noticed taken the chocs off my wishlist recently. What a good girl I am.
Now then, here’s the point of all of this, if you look at naturally voluptuous ladies, (of which I think I am one) they have always had a battle to stay slim. Think Diana Dors. Marilyn Monroe – who was a size 14 before she died, my guess is she would have been a lot bigger as she grew older. Its a natural thing, I think for curvy girls to have a problem staying svelte. Maybe we should all just let nature decide and eat whatever we want. The thing is, I dont feel good when I put on a few pounds. I feel sluggish and unhealthy. Besides that, I wouldnt be able to fit into my fancy pants!! I try and listen to my body. So my perfect solution?? The gym, oh and super healthy meals in between the gorgeous dinners and lunches we share. The best of both worlds? I think so.

…of 18th Century Venice, placed strips of veal on her face for an hour a day to keep it supple.
She streaked her hair with urine to lighten it.
Her fan was held in numerous different ways to signify willingness or other temptress mannerisms.
A beauty spot at the corner of the eye indicated a passionate nature and one on the throat suggested the lady was shameless.
(And to think, we only have a mere website to entice these days ;)
The Venetian Courtesans were, during their time, the most alluring women in Europe. They were beautiful, clever, witty, well versed in music and poetry and they were at the heart of Venetian society.
Florian’s Caffe on Piazza San Marco was the haunt of the Courtesan (I have sipped champagne there). It is alleged that in 18th century Venice the upstairs of this delightful cafe was the best bordello in town. Now I didn’t know that at the time and I really wish I did now as I could have had a poke and a pry and really explored the place albeit under the watchful eye of the rather surly waiter ;) But I urge you to go there, if you happen to be in Venice and perhaps venture out onto the Piazza, grab a seat and listen to the wonderful music played every night as you gaze at the beautiful Basilica.
~~~~~~~~
Le cortigiane del 18o secolo, Venezia, collocata strisce di carne di vitello per la sua faccia per un’ora al giorno per mantenerla elastica.
Ha i capelli striato con urina di alleggerire la
I suoi fan (la mano varietà) si è svolta in numerosi modi diversi per indicare la volontà e le altre tentatrice manierismi
Una bellezza posto ad angolo con l’occhio di un appassionato della natura e di uno sulla gola suggerito la signora era vergognoso
Le cortigiane veneziane sono state, durante il loro tempo, la più affascinante delle donne in Europa. Erano belle, intelligenti, spiritosi, ben versato nella musica e nella poesia e sono stati al centro della società veneziana
(Sempre la stessa poi, cortigiane, in tutto il mondo, anche oggi:)
Caffé Florian in Piazza San Marco è stato il ritrovo della cortigiana (ho sorseggiato champagne lì). Si asserisce che, nel 18 ° secolo Venezia, il piano di sopra di questo delizioso caffè è stato il migliore in città Bordello

The cynic in me thinks that the latest mentalism from Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary is designed purely to grab headlines in a slinky PR stunt – and it worked. But then… maybe just maybe, times are worse than we thought and Mr O’Leary is desperately, nobly trying to cling on to a sliver of meagre profits in order to keep his airline afloat (or should that be aflight?)
So these so -called budget airlines (you have to smirk at that title) already charge you to put a bag in the hold, they charge you to choose a seat, they charge you for refreshments (including water – isnt that illegal?) and recently they, well this one, Ryanair, has threatened to charge for using the loo. I kid you not. What next?, charges for the air supply, for each smile, or grimace from the harrassed, overworked cabin crew? How about charging a pound or two to listen to the Captain’s spiel?
So what’s the latest? Mr Ryanair is contemplating ripping out a few seats at the back so that people can stand. Yes!, stand throughout a flight. I guess it may cut down the incidences of deep vein thrombosis. They are calling it ‘vertical seating’ – BRILLIANT! hahaha. Now what puzzles me, in Mr Ryanair’s quest to hunt down the last penny, is that he is saying he will offer these standing places for free. For free? And the point of this is? Are you mad Sir? I am still researching the point of this folks – ahh maybe the PR stunt theory is true after all :)
This Escort’s favourite mode of transport??, oh without a doubt, Virgin Upper Class. Superb, Fly me to the moon!
PS. I am flying nowhere this coming weekend (and week for that matter). I am static, stable and fixed. I am in Plymouth, I am ready and I am waiting. What are you waiting for? ;) x
