    I don’t know about you but I tend to hunker down at this time of year, I light fires, candles and put up twinkly lights. Walking the dog becomes a well-rehearsed routine of, what time is sundown today? and what’s the tide doing? To maximise daylight hours.  Going to the shops seems unfathomable, going to…

    Hope you enjoyed last week’s fashion posts.  It was fun covering the London Fashion Week Catwalk Shows but it was also hard work, I was shattered by day three! Not very rock’n’roll I know.  I did go to one celeb party, the PPQ party in Mayfair, which was fun but more than enough partying for one…
