A Little Bit of Everything
New travel contributors, Valentine’s Day stuff…… and I chat with an MP
Dear Reader,
Once again I find myself writing this two minutes before it should be published. My Creative Director, Andy, is looking at me oddly as I type… Clearly I am not one of those organised editors (God forbid) you come across. On the plus side it makes brevity a necessity rather than a virtue (hooray the long suffering reader weeps).
Riddle is actually groaning with good stuff this month – and I’m really not too sure how we’ve pulled it off… However, in the dark days of the British winter we have rather a lot of travel. Barrister Victoria Kerly has given the criminal bench a miss for a few months as she travels around South East Asia and will be reviewing and writing for us over the coming weeks. Laura Bingham is embarking on a cycle trip across South America; purely reliant on the good will of strangers she will be helping communities on route. Closer to home, those in need of a little luxury for Valentine’s Day should check out Piers Cunliffe’s review of Stoke Park Hotel.
On the romantic theme of Valentine’s Day, Andy Barnham sits down the Danielle Gubby of Roses Only to chat all things floral and then mulls over fine Trinidadian chocolate with Ashley Parasram from the Trinidad & Tobago Fine Cocoa company. I manage to chat with rising Tory backbencher Johnny Mercer as we discuss veteran’s care, moving from the military into Parliament and shower gel advertisements.
All in all, something to temp any reader. February also sees our second networking event being kindly hosted this week by Oscar Udeshi of UDESHI tailors. We’ll see who turns up….
Best Wishes,
