It’s not always easy being the child of a trained chef, even if you love cooking. Liz Tee’s father Joe is always grumbling about her knife skills. “If he sees me chopping he’ll say: ‘Liz, get those fingers out of the way!’” she said. “I never cut my...

Remember how last week I mentioned that this summer will go down in history as the Summer of Slime? Well, oh my God, did I speak too soon. Let’s replace “slime” with “glitter” and we have a more accurate picture. Sounds pretty I know, but I just … no...

If I were to suggest that Cabernet Sauvignon is the world’s most planted grape I could hear my old headmaster say: “Robinson, I think that you are handling the truth rather loosely.” He would be correct and I should say that it is the world’s most ex...

The summer of 2018 will always be remembered in our house as the Summer of Slime. The eight weeks during which my kids became obsessed with making, playing with and generally wallowing in huge quantities of glue and food dye. If you don’t have kids,...

Week two of Natural Kids and this time we’ve got CrossFit Kids going on in the background. Derek Hurdle is putting 25 children through their paces with Moby playing along. There are cues in the song for different exercises. It’s a little bit like a d...

I’m in the trenches at Natural Kids camp and it’s playtime. There are children making bracelets, racing cars, building towers, drawing pictures and some of them are running a café. They are hilarious and, oh my god, they are so loud! We made the mis...

Last week, I caved in and bought bunnies for the girls. They’d been doing camp at Wild Island Farm and had got increasingly attached to every living thing. I caught Belle trying to bring home a chick in her pocket and when Chloe started talking about...

When purchasing TVs, cereal or cars most of us happily accept well-known producers like Samsung, Kellogg’s or Kia. When it comes to wine, however, there often seems to be a desire to seek small, boutique, or new producers. There is nothing wrong wit...

A few weeks into summer and life has slowed down for the better. Traffic is lighter, work is clearer, the evenings are a lot less manic. Bath time, stories and bed are just way easier, so if I could just stop making lunch boxes everything would be pe...

Last week I suggested “other” white wines, but today I will return to Bermuda’s first choice and lead off with two new arrivals. Sancerre, from Pascal Jolivet, is possibly the most asked for French sauvignon blanc here and now, for the first time,...
