Alfa Romeo Giulia Super Review
We decided to test the Alfa Romeo down in Cornwall with a visit to the Pendennis shipyard in Falmouth where they refurbish and restore some of the largest and most extravagant luxury yachts in the world. It was a round trip of ten hours and gave us time with some great roads to really get a feel for what the Alfa Romeo Giulia is all about.
Why You Wont Find Us At Baselworld by Raphael Granito, CEO of Formex Watches
You may have recently read a variety of articles reporting on the dramatic changes in the world’s most important watch fair. These changes have been building over the past few years and should be worrying for organizers as the numbers speak very clearly. 2017 saw a decrease of 200 exhibitors from the previous year and this year, another whopping 600 exhibitors decided not to join the show, effectively cutting last year’s numbers in half.
The name Dunsfold Park immediately conjures up images of Top Gear, The Stig and amazing cars being pushed to their limits around the airfield’s race track. It’s become synonymous with all things to do with sports cars and a haven for the petrol heads who embrace them.
Having just returned from a long weekend in Turkey, I feel refreshed, relaxed and just tanned-enough, to receive some raised eyebrow envy from my non-journo friends.
With the temperatures just starting to rise, it is a great time to go to get some bargain sun and avoid the hardcore sun worshiping crowds. With a previous visit to Antalya a distant memory (apart from the beautiful beaches and long hot days), I was keen to get back to the white sands and dip my toes in the crystal-clear water.
I think my skin is still glowing from my Signature K facial at the Karidis Clinic, despite it being a couple of weeks ago.
I work hard to take care of my skin, adapting my regime to the seasons and investing in hard-working formulas that really make a difference. As a result, I’m pretty happy with it, but there are certain times of the year, particularly when the seasons change, that I could definitely do with some extra help.
If you are affected by the bizarre extremes of weather at the moment, then spare a thought for your skin. Extreme temperature changes (hello snow), air conditioning, central heating and pollution all take their toll, so it’s particularly important at these times to make sure you have a solid care routine. Below are a few of my favourite products and how I use them.
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant £48 www.johnlewis.com/dermalogica-daily-microfoliant-75g/p1721604
Since Pantone crowned Ultra Violet the colour of the year, there is a veritable rainbow of purple, lavender and indigo in the shops. Whether you are warm or cool skin-toned, there is a shade that will suit you, but if sporting the royal colour is not your style, turn to accessories for a more subtle nod to the trend. We love this selection of jewellery for its sophisticated sparkle.
The Ultimate Guardian Amethyst Pendant £989 by Rock & Raw www.rockandrawjewellery.com
Sarah Millican is appearing in theatres all over the UK, and I managed to catch her at GLive in Guildford for a wonderful night of ribald laughter.
Millican is in fart popping, expletive laden style in her new show “Control Enthusiast”. She exposes ours and her personal foibles with endearing frankness, often accompanied by little coy looks directed around the audience, each time she gleefully steps over normal boundaries of politeness.
CZAPEK & CIE QUAI DES BERGUES GUILLOCHÉ HAVANA BROWN
Twelve different companies from across the Czech Republic showcased their wares - from crystal glass to whisky - at the Hotelympia 2018 event at the ExCel exhibition venue in London’s Docklands this March, in an effort to promote and expand into the UK market.
The project initiative and planning, which was led in conjunction with CzechTrade UK, had started “six months ago” before the event according to Monica Slaba, an exhibitor and key account manager at J&T Wood (www.jtwood.cz) from Šumperk in the Olomouc region in northern Moravia.
