Last weekend, I caught the last half an hour of It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s one of my favourite Christmas films. A true nostalgic classic that always reminds me of family Christmases when I was younger.  Starring James Stewart, Donna Reed and Henry Travers as Clarence Odbody, it is a heart-warming tale, even in those...

Whether you have one day off or two weeks, we all look forward to having a little time off over the festive season if we can. Those ‘3 days’ between Christmas and New Year are commonly spent in a glorious festive haze. Not knowing what day it is, or how much cheese we’ve actually consumed,...

Whilst we’re still in the midst of seasonal festivities with Christmas only a few weeks away, I’ve seen a number of articles discussing the new year and plans for 2020. It’s funny isn’t it, that so many of us set our new year resolutions to begin in January. We may think about them in the...

Of course, parts of the country are suffering far worse conditions too. A stark reminder of Mother Nature’s power. It reminds us that at this time of year we...

I’ve read a few articles recently all with a similar message when it comes to gifting this Christmas. Many of them probably apply more to people with children – and not going overboard with too many presents – but I think it’s an important message for adults too. This may seem like a rather Grinch-inspired...

When we consider the one item in our wardrobes that we simply could not live without, what springs to mind? Of course, underwear and warm clothes must rank highly for the sake of reason, but I would say denim tops many a person’s list.  From denim jackets to dungarees and a good pair of jeans,...

I had an email come through this week which confirmed that ASOS have stopped publishing their magazine for Premier subscribers. I had heard a few people mention it, and to be honest, I hadn’t thought too much about it – another publication stopping its print run – but after reading an article that determined how...
