In the Kremlin no one can hear you scheme. So read a poster outside the building in Warren Street where a screening was held of ‘The Death Of Stalin’, the new film and Soviet satire directed by Scottish satirist and Oscar-nominated Armando Iannucci, which hits British cinemas this October.
Iannucci, who has been described by The Daily Telegraph as the “hardman of political satire” and directed the critically acclaimed ‘The Thick of It’ TV series and the film ‘In The Loop’, was attracted to the graphic novel that was turned into The Death of Stalin.

London-based handbag designer Esin Akan launched her Eponymous label in 2012 and hasn’t looked back since. An award-winning graduate of London Business School and Central St Martins, Esin designs ‘smart bags for smart women’, which cleverly adapt to different situations throughout the day.

So there’s a tech company in town, SunnyCam who make a range of sunglasses that are also 1080p video recorders with a 90 degree field of view.
Now Google Glasses came out and failed spectacularly, they were withdrawn after so much hype, people were expecting a new world revolution in tech.
But SunnyCam got this right, they have built a simple sports or family video recorder that makes it easy to capture some amazing moments without having to stop and separate from the moment itself.

So International Excellence Magazine was in Greenwich for an event with Hunton Yachts, introducing this awesome British brand to ultra high net worth at the Delamar Hotel in Connecticut
The Delamar is of course set overlooking Greenwich Harbor so ideal for a yacht party, especially as Hunton were taking the VIPs out around Rocky Neck Point so they could really experience the comfort, speed and unbelievable stability of the boat. The New York yachting fraternity was extremely impressed and the evening was a great success.

Norfolk was quite a surprise, whilst certain aspects took our minds back even as far as the 1950’s, there was a pleasant buzz about so many refreshing facets of life outside the Home Counties.   People have time to be polite, the roads were generally uncongested; we found some real treasures.  Some were unspoilt villages, wide open spaces of countryside seemingly largely unpressured by too much development.  There are several very grand houses including two very different National Trust properties; Blickling Hall for its exterior – even better than the photographs - and the modern planting

Already a big success in Scandinavia, award-winning Oumph! is from the plant kingdom and hopes to make a splash on the British market.
A product that looks like meat, tastes like meat but is made of plant extract, which has gained significant traction in the Scandinavian and Nordic markets, was unfurled to an audience of food aficionados and bloggers in west London.

Whistler sets a standard that many other ski resorts have to match; right up there with Aspen and the best resorts in Europe but for very different reasons. The main concern for many is the flight; eleven hours but you do not lose skiing time as it is overnight and you are chasing the sun outbound.  Passing through Vancouver airport is quick and the transfer is less than two hours to Whistler, the roads are good and it’s worth keeping awake for the stunning scenery.
