If you are thinking of going to Barcelona this year, think twice before you make your final decision as there are so many beautiful places throughout. I’ve been to the beautiful city of Barcelona just once in the past and now I fancy something a little more rural and tranquil.

Breguet, who have been creating impeccable Swiss watches for almost 250 years, are confident that their exquisitely timeless Classique line faithfully reflects the technical standards, horological art and traditional values that have made their brand so successful.

Not long now till Father’s Day, so I am delighted to help out with some suggestions for wonderful Father’s Day gifts. As you may already know, many dads may not be so bothered about the gifting side of things and would much rather spend more quality time outdoors and with the family.

Yes, it’s that time of year again and here we are at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi is steamy and sweltering most of the year. Best time to visit is November-March, when temperatures are moderate, though in the past few years, January, once considered the optimum month to visit, has been overcast and rainy. If you’re heading here for sun, sea and sand, spring and autumn are ideal, when you can bronze your body by day and cool down after dark in the air-conditioned restaurants, bars and shopping malls.

An unfamiliar fragrance has come to town, a scent smouldering with Oudhand precious materials to arouse the senses.

Leaving the dazzling city of Lisbon behind, I am now ready to take off to my next adventure. Many of magazines and online have mentioned Porto quite a few times, supported by lots of Insta-worthy images across Instagram,  which leave you wanting to see more. Porto is well known for its large range of ports, Portuguese wines, the vast display of heritage tiles embedded on its walls, including the picturesque Don Louis bridge, designed by Gustave Eiffel who also designed one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Passing along the famous main street, Avenida de Liberdade, I arrive at the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz in style, to be greeted by the attentive doorman who opens the car door and almost magically disappears with the luggage. The Four Seasons service is always impeccable and I have been a fan of Four Seasons Hotel and Resort for some time.
