What would we do without them? Yesterday I was walking down Oxford Street after having lunch with a close friend that I don’t get to see as often as I would like. A girl, in a rush and carrying a number of paper bags filled with her latest purchases, stopped next to me at the...Read More
Joe Wicks, AKA The Body Coach Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the past six months then my guess is that by now you have heard all about Joe Wicks, AKA The Body Coach. Taking Instagram by storm during the early part of last year Joe rocketed to fame thanks to his self-made...Read More
So, we have eaten our own body weight in food (some would say this is a skill, a pure talent in fact, all on its own). We have had late nights, perhaps drank too much and spent mornings and afternoons sprawled out on the sofa, and it has been absolutely wonderful. The only thing we...Read More
During our first meeting of 2016 I proposed to the team that this would be a year of consolidation. I promised not to come up with too many new ideas and I think I saw a few eyes flicker in disbelief. The Semple team had some great achievements in 2015. One example, our magazine Semple...Read More
When it comes to staying organised, my phone is the first thing I turn to. As we all know, apps have become so much more advanced over the last few years and app-developers are constantly developing app ideas that will help our every day lives. I can be a bit of a tech-geek when I want...Read More

A New Year’s resolution is usually always only a positive thing: we want to give up a bad habit, get fit and healthy, save money, for example. Resolutions come in all shapes and sizes and last from anywhere between a day and...Read More
Christmas may be over but the food isn’t! I don’t know about you but in our house the lead up to Christmas starts as soon as December 1st rolls around. The tree goes up, the plans are made and the shopping begins. And I’m not talking presents… Food is a massive part of our family...Read More
Since growing up Christmas has taken on a new, more important meaning to me and to so many of my friends and family.
