Kim Sears weds Andy Murray
It may be only April, but it seems as if we’ve already witnessed the wedding of the year. Yesterday Wimbledon Champ Andy Murray wed the gorgeous Kim Sears in Dunblane, and it proved to be the sort of warm and wonderful wedding that warms the heart, even though the weather wasn’t all that kind to the happy couple. The stylish Kim has proved to be a bit of a fashion favourite in recent years, with both tennis fans and fashion fans noticing her chic, and always elegant choices that,like another famous tennis fan, Kate Middleton, manage to successfully mix designer pieces with high street favourites. So, on this most special…

Disney on Ice Magical Ice Festival

I don’t mind admitting I shed a few tears. The Magical Ice festival wasn’t just about Frozen. There was…

Packing for an Easter break
We finally break up for Easter tomorrow, and the following day, we are heading for a welcome Easter break in beautiful Wales. It is a trip that will be dominated with the great outdoors, be it the hills and mountains of Snowdonia, or the beaches of Barmouth and Aberdovey. I am totally looking forward to it, but with the weather currently so changeable (we had hail yesterday for goodness sake) what to pack is a little tricky. The weather forecasts are suggesting that light rain showers will be occurring throughout the weekend, and so I’m guessing that I will be living in jeans. Luckily I have some great new jeans…
