Unless you were rummaging through the business section of The Times newspaper yesterday, you might have missed it. So I’m happy to share the good news with you here.

No doubt many women will be getting chocolates on Valentine’s Day from secret (and some not so secret admirers). But in some parts of Asia it’s a slightly different story.

We are fortunate to have so many beautiful things for sale at Fabiola & Sing Sing, but sometimes it’s a real wrench to part with them.
Take this gorgeous Mathilde cake stand for instance.
I don’t know how Graham managed to avoid snaffling one of those meringues when he took the photograph. Me? I think [...]

Soooo, I’ve been thinking that I need to start thinking about planning my Christmas party. I can’t get through the cold and darkness without a series of soirees to look forward to. I do find the long nights and low temperatures a test of endurance, so I sometimes like to pretend I’m in a hot [...]
