Hand & Flowers, Marlow. Review
So we decided to take the Aston Martin DB9 over to the Hand and Flowers in Marlow. The chef is Tom Kerridge and in 2011 he had the distinction of being the first pub to receive two Michelin Stars, putting him up there with chefs like Michel Roux at Le Gavroche and Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. As we were on a British Luxury Tour, this pub seemed like the perfect stop for lunch on our way to Cliveden Hotel and Spa, where we were staying the night.

A Visit to a Leading Italian Builder of Fast Yachts
300kph in a car; few people even motoring journalists have achieved that speed.  A few more will have travelled at 50+ knots in a power boat.  However, only a small minority will have travelled at that speed in a comfortable cruising motor yacht, doubtless with a glass of something good like champagne to hand.  Perhaps it is a case of more fizz in the yacht than in the champagne?

Recent media attention around Ashya King, the five-year old British boy, who travelled to Prague this summer for proton therapy treatment certainly put the spotlight firmly on the Czech Republic and its reputation for cutting-edge medical treatments.

The world’s best places to mix and meet with the highest profile glitterati are the most fashionable European and North American ski resorts. The skiing experience aboard is a rather different experience in any one of the very top resorts. Any person you talk to on a ski lift could well be featured in a magazine you read whether it is on business, fashion or simply gossip.
 

It all started over an inebriated argument between banker husband and wife essentially covering the topic of how manly escapades were no longer partaken of. Just work and family. A few phone calls later to a once legendary but now ageing crew, myself included, and permission granted from partners (bribed with future promises of luxury spas) and the die was cast.
So International eXcellence Magazine set off for the 24 hrs of Le Mans with some very old friends in three Ferraris for a manly few days of luxury camping and racing!

- Where did you study and what is your background?

It’s 11.30PM on a warm Saturday night in August and Frankfurt’s annual Museum Embankment Festival is in full flow. With bars, a somewhat random selection of stalls selling everything from pro-cannabis campaign badges to jewelry and craft wares, and music stages stretching down both sides of the mighty Main river, it’s easy to see why this predominantly business-focussed city feels alive with decadence this evening.
