I must apologise for the lack of blogs of late, this is due to the fact I have enjoyed a longer than usual time flitting from place to place, where I have been at the behest of engaging hosts. However, this pleasant distraction has now come to an end and you will be pleased to know that I am back and raring to go. Also can I thank those of you (darlings) who e-mailed me expressing their concern for me in the lack of communication , your concern is touching and fondly received. But as I say I’m back and raring to go and what better way than to start with the exhibition of a favorite of mine, the toured genius The Real Van Gogh: The Artist and His letters. So much has been written about Van Gogh already than any additional analysis would render itself immaterial amongst the past plethora of written work available, so I won’t venture it here. The Real Van Gogh: The Artist and His letters is an exibition in the main galleries of The royal Academy of Arts. It focuses on Van Gogh’s correspondence, and gives a rare sight into the inner thoughts of his giant amongst artists.  The delicate state of the letters meant that the letters have rarely been shown in public an along with them as a result many unseen drawings. Surprisingly it’s been 40 years since a major exhibition of Van Gogh has appeared in London. The exhibition starts 23rd January - 18th April 2010 and I for one will  not be missing this opportunity to gaze in awe at the genius of his work and perhaps learn little more about the inner thoughts of this troubled genius.

If you would like to join me in what will be rewarding experience, send me an email and let’s go together.

Namaste.

Here are a couple of dates to put in your diary, Monday 2^nd November and Tuesday 3^rd November. Why are those dates special you ask? Appearing at the Royal Albert Hall for two nights only is multiple Grammy award winning, 53 million selling album, has a star on Hollywood’s walk of fame, has sung with some of the best artists in the world, including the late Luciano Pavarotti and Ray Charles written songs with, Bob Dylan, as well as writing the odd hit for Kiss and Barbara Streisand. The list of achievements and artists he has performed with is endless.

Michael Bolton  is widely regarded as one of the best male artists around. I love all his songs but this two are my favourites. listen here ;  How Am I suppose To Live without You    

             and  

       When A Man loves A Woman

His music spans all genres and is more than able to hold his own when singing alongside the three Tenors, Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carerras. and

And whilst some may remember him from when he wore his hair long, perhaps not the best fashion statement   since he’s had a good haircut.

But whatever you thought about the hairstyle back then paled into insignificance when he sang. Michael Bolton is simply one of the best artists around. He has worked with some of the best and collaborated with such a diverse range of performers, giving testament to his immense talent as a singer/songwriter.

I can’t wait till the concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Michael Bolton is by far one of my most favourite singers and when he puts on a concert, I for one will definitely be there and if you have any sense you will too.

It’s that time of year again. It’s the Cartier International polo Match between England and Argentina. No rivalry there then!  And it’s Cartier’s 25^thyear of sponsoring this event.  The event is being held at the Guards Polo Club, within the Great Park, Windsor.

Being that it is the 25^th year anniversary Cartier are planning much more than just a polo event. It will be Cartier international Day, with a lavish gourmet lunch prepared by Anton Mosimann.

The event will be attended by a host of stars of stage and screen and sports men and women alike and of course by none other than yours truly.  Which brings me to another age old dilemma? With the British weather as capricious as ever and this being a special day for Cartier I just have to have a new dress for such an event. And with a new dress just as night follows day, new shoes, Manolo Blahnik of course.

It is sure to be a fun filled day with the great and the good rubbing shoulder to shoulder whilst watching some of the best Polo players in the world. It’s one of the best events in the calendar year, gourmet food fine champagne and Pimms on tap. Just need to get my new dress and shoes and I’ll be hot to trot at the hottest ticket in town.

See you there!
