It has to be said that we are most definitely a nation of shoppers. But for some unfathomable reason when it comes to perfume each and every one of us will undoubtedly delay its purchase until one of three occasions: a birthday, a holiday or Christmas. Obviously we all agree that it’s nice to smell...Read More
On the centennial year of the beginning of World War One, I visited the small Belgian town of Ypres, or Ieper as its Dutch name is. I didn’t actually plan this, but my Belgium trip was in 2014 and I didn’t feel I could go to the country without visiting Ypres. After all, it’s a...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

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
In my wanderings around Belgium, I of course stopped off at perhaps its most famous city: Bruges. I even set aside more time for it, anticipating there’d be more to see and was right to do so. Not only are there plenty of attractions, churches and spires to visit, Bruges itself is just a pleasant...Read More
The New Year is a time to reflect, it’s a time for change. We celebrate the next chapters of our lives while closing the last. New Year is a time of fun and laughter, it’s about friends and family. But, New Year is also a time for great dresses. If you are starting to think...Read More
