APPARENTLY Kanye West knows fashion! I say this with my tongue firmly fixed in my cheek having seen what he showed in New York Fashion Week at the weekend. How the ‘Queen of Style’, Anna Wintour, sat with a straight face is beyond me. To add insult to injury his wife […]

THIS time of year is a particular favourite of mine as there is, as my mother would say, “a great stretch in the evening”. The temperature may not be rising in any significant way, but there is sign of new life in the trees and flowers. This is also true […]
