La Belle Vie en Provence

Summering in the South of France has long been a society favourite, but we like to sidestep the glitz and glamour of Monaco and Cannes and get lost in the rich history, scenery and tranquillity of the Provence countryside. Continue reading...

Socially Acceptable: Pregnancy and Facebook, What if it All Goes Wrong?

To anyone who shares life so freely all I'd say is be careful, protect yourself and the day you find yourself contemplating bad news and if it's too soon to post it to Facebook, give it a miss and make a phone call or two, the sound of a familiar voice far outweighs the sympathy of 200 people you haven't seen or spoken to for as long as you can remember.

Why I'm Proud to Be an Abortion Doctor

I work for BPAS, the UK's largest abortion provider, talking to women about and performing abortions up to the legal limit every day. Someone has written that a woman wants an abortion like an animal stuck in a trap wants to chew its leg off. While the imagery is melodramatic, it conveys the panic and stress an unplanned pregnancy can impose. It also communicates something of the relief experienced by women after their abortion; this is one of the things that make being an abortion provider so very rewarding. Continue reading...

Five Things I'm Grateful for This Week

Every week I'm going to introduce to you the five things I am most grateful for within those seven days; from words spoken by strangers, to actions that I've benefitted from by loved ones and anything in-between! It's a useful practice I picked up several years ago after learning the importance of gratitude from a book many of you will have read entitled The Secret. Continue reading...

Prejudice Towards the 'Posh' Isn't Unfair - It's an Attitude More People Need to Take

Watching Sunday Morning Live with Francis Boulle from Made in Chelsea this week kind of pushed me over the edge - the suggestion that classism or prejudice of people based on their upper-class backgrounds is akin to racism was just too much to take. Continue reading...

Champagne Review: Champagne Jacquart, Brut Mosaїque and Blanc de Blancs Vintage

We all know the names of Veuve Clicquot, Moёt et Chandon, Taittinger. Bollinger was made famous via its association with everyone's favourite British spy, James Bond. Champagne Jacquart on the other hand, for me, was a bit of an unknown quantity. I had heard the name some time ago but... Continue reading...

The Cure for Economic Pain is Pain Itself

Across Europe, 500 million working days are lost each year as a result of chronic pain. The economic effect is equivalent to paying half the working population of Portugal to sit at home doing nothing, while asking the rest to make up the difference via impossibly inflated sales targets.

The Church of England is a Drunk Bloke in a Wetherspoon

When I was at school I was occasionally picked on by kids for 'acting gay' or being camp. I developed a line in riposte which was 'don't bend over then'. I was clearly an amazing child. A couple of weeks ago I saw one of those kids drinking a pint of lager in a Wetherspoons at 11am. And he was wearing a fleece. I realised, in that moment, that I totally win. Continue reading...
