What we’re up to:
Partying with Wallpaper* Magazine at the Design Awards 2011 held yesterday, 12th January, in London – and do they know how to throw a party! We are so incredibly proud to share the news with all our good readers that we have been given an award this year as part of the ‘Best Steam Team’ – an award focused on home remedies to help ‘give us a lift’. We are over the moon and can’t thank the team at Wallpaper* enough for their support and belief in our brand. Cheers to a brilliant year ahead!

Stay:
In a thatched cottage in Crantock Village, Cornwall. The air is clean, the sea breeze blows away all those stubborn cobwebs and the beaches are wild and beautiful. It’s a fantastic part of the country, brimming with enticing eateries; not least Rick Steins ‘Seafood Restaurant’ in Padstow, which was a very memorable experience for us – possibly the best Bouillabaisse outside Marseille!
Read:
Lost Horizon by James Hilton. It’s a great tale set in the 1930′s, which at that time received enormous public and critical acclaim. It’s a book that is still as great a read as it ever was, telling a captivating tale of a small group who find themselves stranded in the mountains of Tibet, in the strangely wonderful and seemingly utopian land of Shangri-La.
Eat:
With YoungTurks – an initiative based on a group of young London chefs hosting Pop-Up dining events in the capital. Their first venture was held at Art Work Space on Decemeber 19th, which was by all accounts a rip-roaring success. Photos of this first event can be seen at flickr.com/gp/watchlooksee and they also have a blog at youngturksblog.com

Look Forward:
To Spring 2011. It’s just the best time of year here, when plants come into bloom, days start getting a little longer and we can start shedding some wooly layers! We are diligently taking our Immunity supplements in preparation for a healthy and positive first few months of this, already great, year!
