Happy New Year!

It’s back to work and business as usual, but we all had a wonderful (and well earned) break. All in all 2010 was a good year I think. Here’s my favourites

Best music; Zorbing by Stornoway, my daughter Verity and I saw Stornoway at Jo Whiley’s Little noise sessions at the Islington Union Chapel, they did Zorbing without any PA or anything, it knocked our socks off and it’s something we kind of share together. Write about love by Belle and Sebastian, I just love B&S and this was such a fave hit from this year.

Best book; Edmund’s of course, The Hare with the Amber Eyes, but he’s a friend so how about Any Human Heart by William Boyd? Or God’s own Country by Ross Raisin?

Best holiday; Suffolk again I guess, although our week in Majorca was great fun with Eric et Lydie. Oh yes, and LeJog, cycling. That was amazing…. Not sure if it was a holiday or not…

Best movie; The Illusionist? Nothing really stood out this year…

Best grub/restaurant; Anchor and Hope again of course, although Koya is a near second. Moro is always fab and they gave Connie some work experience so they are also top of my pops.

Best piece of jewellery made; Two turtle doves, but I’m still not there yet. I’ll try this one again in 2011

Best wine; Mac Forbes Pinot noir. Bruna Sorg sweet desert wine

Best TV; Laughing my head off at The Inbetweeners, nothing changes when it comes to teenage boys…

Best clothes; Cycling clothes this year. My Rapha top.

Best all round thing; My Roberts bike, hand made for me by Chas Roberts, it’s perfect..

What’s good in 20011? Everything! The new HQ, the shop, lots more exciting plans at work. And I was just starting to think about holidays…..

Here’s the kids and co. in Suffolk on January 1st….

And here’s the new shop last visited nearer Christmas. Exciting! We should be in April/May!

More soon!

I’ve so much to write about I don’t know where to start! We went to the Cricket, Connie cooked at Moro(!), I had a great trip to Japan, I picked up my new bike (fantastic!!!), a great meeting to design our new look, Tasha’s 21st birthday party, loads of great cycle training, and funny story from April’s sister.

Anyway, what shall I do right now….. First the cutest…. my gorgeous middle daughter really likes cooking and wants to be a chef, so I asked my mate Sam at London’s BEST restaurant Moro if he would show her round the kitchens. Dear old Sam was fantastic. Connie and I went in at 12 on a mid-week lunchtime and she was whisked away. When I returned she was hard at work, dressing salads and making flatbread! We had a delicious lunch and Connie was allowed to join us, we ate the bread she’d made. We love Moro, and big thanks to Sam.

What next… Oh yes, very funny. April’s sister was reading a racy novel on the tube the other day. She photocopied it for me… take a look for yourselves. I think I can retire now!

Hey! How brilliant is that?

More soon,
