Do you remember last month I told you about the P&G Capital Clean Up? I’m excited to be playing a very small part in making London a fresher, greener place by nurturing and naming a plant which might be added to one of our local Febreze Fresh Havens at Pinemartin Activity Park or the Whittington…

Celebrate the Year of the Dragon
A bottle of sweet chilli sauce has been a staple of my kitchen cupboards since I was at uni. Blue Dragon make lots of other lovely products and we were recently sent some goodies from their range. Tonight we had a delicious curry made with their coconut milk and Laksa curry paste – just the…
