New Sri Lanka Tours – Flying Safari

2010-09-03T07:39:31Z

Sri Lanka tours have become one of the World’s most popular holiday choices.

This holiday hotspot seemingly has it all – Charming people with diverse religious and cultural backgrounds. The island and the landscape of Sri Lanka is as diverse as its people and I think this is what has been the major pull.

Spanning 430 km North to South and with a width of 225 km, Sri Lanka Holidays offer so much.

From the idyllic coastline that stretches a lengthy 1340 km to Sri Lanka’s tea country, where the landscape is dramatically different with lush surroundings and temperate forests, there is much to see and do.

Tea Country
Safari seems the way forward. Asian specialists, cazenove+loyd like to do things a little differently. Why safari in a battered, bumpy four x four when you can take to the skies and really get to see Sri Lanka…all of it.

From Colombo, the private Bell Jet Ranger helicopter heads for Kandy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one corner of Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle.

The other two corners, the ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa in the north can be circled in a few hours by helicopter, giving passengers a clear aerial view of the ancient ruins. The helicopter lands next to the UNESCO World Heritage site, Sigiriya.

Sigiriya
From the north, it is just a one hour flight to Sri Lanka’s Tea country. Clients stay in a converted tea plantation bungalow and can visit local tea factories and explore the countryside by foot, bike or raft.

Galle, the most important town in the south of Sri Lanka, is the final stop on the safari. The flight from the Highlands to Galle takes in the sights of the Kothmale reservoir, local waterfalls and the sacred Adam’s Peak which contains the footprint of Buddha.

Fly over Adam’s Peak at sunrise and witness the distinctive triangular shadow the mountain casts on the surrounding plain.

View From Adams Peak
An unbelievable island offering mile after mile of Seductive beaches, cultural heritage sites, differing landscapes of Mountains to lush green lagoons and leafy forests and waterfalls and rivers bursting with suitably diverse organisms.

It has to be seen by air, surely the only way to take in all this Island has to offer.

A five night flying safari with cazenove+loyd (http://www.cazloyd.com 020 7384 2332) costs from 3,455 per person based on four people travelling, as part of a tailormade itinerary. The price includes a night at Kandy House, two nights at Lavender House in the Highlands and two nights at Galle Fort Hotel on a bed and breakfast basis with private helicopter flights throughout. The itinerary does not include international flights.

Luxury Coastal Cornwall Cottages From Simply Time Cottages

2010-09-02T07:34:56Z

The Magical and mystical Cornwall has so much to offer. Every time I have visited Cornwall, It has been memorable.

For such a location, I prefer to rent cottages instead of a Hotel. This is where there has been a slight issue.

More times than I would prefer, there has been an element of “roughing it”. Maybe that has been down to my choice of rental cottages in Cornwall, maybe it has been down to the standard available.

This problem has been picked up by the team behind Simply Time in Cornwall. Experienced in self catering in Cornwall, The Ogg family have inserted luxury and quality into their 3 cottages USP’s. They have created the ultimate Cornwall rent cottage in 3 variations.

Here’s the Oggs – “We learned from first hand experience what makes or breaks a self-catering holiday. We decided that you shouldn’t have to comprise on quality, style or location and have strived to combine the best of everything in our properties. Our approach is based on the levels of service and hospitality we expect ourselves.”

Too right.

The three cottages are located in Mid Cornwall, in the Historic and picturesque port town of Charlestown, complete with harbour and sea views. For perfect holidays cottages Cornwall can offer no more luxurious than these.

Extensive renovation and thoughtful interior design has resulted in 3 cottages suitable for those with exacting standards. The finish is professional and makes for three homely, functional, highly presentable, Luxury Cornish holiday lets.

Differing from most Cornish rentals, each cottage has its own garden and outdoor eating space. Two of the cottages are next door to each other, whilst the third is a couple of doors away.

Afternoon Tea Review at Aspleys, The Lanesborough London

2010-09-01T13:08:10Z

Afternoon tea always seems like such a relaxing and deliciously appealing way to spend an afternoon, as it’s a quintessentially British pastime, and there’s no better place to be than in The Lanesborough. Aspleys at The Lanesborough has launched London’s first tea sommelier service to strengthen their reputation as the best place in London to have afternoon tea and we were invited to sample it. We arrived early so we were able to lounge around in the Withdrawing Room surrounded by sumptuous furnishings for half an hour or so before being seated for afternoon tea, which started promptly at 4.00pm.

Those Winter Sundays by Robert E Haydn

Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blueback cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labour in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.

I’d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he’d call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,

Speaking indifferently to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love’s austere and lonely offices?

Gaucho, Richmond – Review

2010-08-27T01:11:26Z

Any restaurant that undergoes a sizeable building extension is doing something right, and Gaucho in Richmond is no exception. One of our favourite restaurant chains in the UK, we’ll never turn down an opportunity to review a Gaucho and the finest steak money can buy.

Gaucho Richmond is one of the latest restaurants to join the chain and is nestled bang on the riverside within an absolutely idyllic setting. The restaurant itself is glass roofed and fronted, which allows for a cracking view of the Thames, it’s ducks and some rather athletic runners and rowers pretty much wherever you sit.

Once you’ve parked up somewhere along the main road you’ll simply need to make your way down to the river and you’ll see it – just looked for the huge’ glass house’ and you’re there.

The restaurant comprises the familiar furnishings and dimmed lighting to the other Gaucho restaurants – the cow hide chairs, long bar, delicious smells and extremely friendly and welcoming staff. However, we felt that there was an absolute elegance to Gaucho Richmond that surpasses the others we have been lucky enough to review to date.

The latest member of Lalique’s luxury portfolio, Daum.

2010-08-25T07:23:47Z

Daum have been at the forefront of pioneering modern glassmaking for 130 years.

Flourishing in the Decorative Arts Movement and Art Nouveau period, The Daum effect still has so much relevance in our modern world. Daum is now developing rapid prototyping methods by means of digital research

Daum Glass was first famous for creating a glass covering for the electric light in 1920, but has come a long way since. Working with artists Salvador Dali, Paloma Picasso and Roland Topor to name but a few, it is only right that Daum has become the latest member of Lalique’s luxury portfolio which also includes artisanal brand Haviland.

Vase Cerisier Bijoux
Daum fuses together ancient glassmaking techniques with contemporary flair to create decorative crystal pieces inspired by shapes, tones and colours found within the natural world.

The skilled Daum craftsmen who honed their skills have produced some of the most historically important glass pieces. The lost wax and the pâte de cristal techniques are just two revolutionary skills founded in 1968 that are still in practice today.

This iconic style is translated through every collection, including the Paradise range which is instantly recognisable with a focus on subtle pastel hues and a nod to birdlife and flowers. The Birds of Paradise (Oiseau de Paradis) vase for example is meticulously sculpted to make it appear as if the exotic birds are in flight and the vase is in movement.

Vase Oiseau de Paradis
Along a similar vein, the delicate flowers on the Deep Green Cherry Blossom Jewel Vase have been painstakingly polished to achieve a sparkling transparency reminiscent of how they would appear in their natural environment.

Glass ornaments have a new marker set.

For more information, visit http://www.daum.fr. The Daum collection will be on display at Lalique’s boutique on Conduit Street Store, London.

The masculine Serpent Vase crafted in striking red crystal showcases the skilled craftsmanship of the Lalique artisans.

Carlsberg’s Jacobsen Vintage No.1 – Probably the most expensive beer in the world!

2010-08-24T07:39:09Z

This weekend I was lucky enough to make it to the pub - A nationwide chain known for offering cheap beer and fine guest ales. I chose one delightful guest ale and I had to ask the barman to repeat himself when he said “£1.45 please”.

This is by far the cheapest pint I have had in ages and it got me thinking. If this was the cheapest available, what’s the most expensive?

My title is wrong, but I couldn’t resist the nod to Carlsberg’s advertising slogan. Carlsberg are very good at brewing ale , that’s a fact. The Jacobsen Vintage No.1 is definitely the most expensive beer in the world.

A 375ml bottle will set you back £220. I really enjoyed my £1.45 pint, so I wanted to know what you get for the extra £218.55….

The excellent beer is backed up by original hand stilled lithographic print labels by Danish artist Frans Kannik

First up, Vintage No.1 is very exclusive. You can only get this from three fine Danish restaurants or from the Carlsberg Visitors centre in Valby. This means that you have to visit Denmark in order to purchase a bottle, that’s bumping up travel expenses but I think it might well be worth it!

Now, What about the Beer itself? The Jacobsen Vintage No. 1 is an oak aged barley wine with an ABV on 10.5%...now we’re talking!

The beer is matured for six month in new Swedish barrels (Thorlundskagge – oak from Hjo) and new French barrels (Cote dór barrels – oak from Alsace). This is turning out to be the best European beer.

The beer has flavours of vanilla, smoke, caramel, prunes and port from maturing on Swedish or French Cote dór oak casks. The beer originating from the Swedish oak has a more dominant caramel aroma. With only the best ingredients beer like this can be produced.

Ok, sounds good. For £220, is there anything else that may entice? The actual look of this exclusive beer bottle is excellent. Aesthetics draw back to Danish mythology.

Each bottle of Jacobsen Vintage No. 1 is labelled with an original hand stilled lithographic print made by the Danish artist Frans Kannik. The prints depict fables of Sif. Sif was married to the Nordic god Thor, who was often used by Carl Jacobsen, the son of J.C. Jacobsen, as a symbol of strength.

Below are some of the wise and intriguing words of head brewer, Jens Eiken:

“Vintage No.1 has, as the only contemporary beer, been matured in J.C. Jacobsen’s original crypt-like cellar from 1847, for six months in new Swedish and new French oak barrels. “The project started as a wild idea and a wish to create a new type of beer that had never been seen before. During the ageing process in new barrels, lots of chemical processes take place. Not all reactions are known but they taste wonderful”

This is so good. Elements of this brewing process are not really understood. The only understanding needed here is that the process continues to deliver fine beer, regardless of the chemical processes involved. Typically uncomplicated Danish – I love it!

Johnnie Walker® Blue Label™ to launch exclusive tasting experience at Plateau

2010-08-23T07:38:49Z

“Forget the House red or white, bring me the whisky!”

This kind of opening request to the sommelier would normally bring on fear and slight disgust, but not at the excellent Plateau restaurant in Canary Wharf….

The Plateau - Canary Wharf
Allan Picket, head chef, has joined forces with Johnnie Walker to create a unique three course tasting menu that highlights the key expressions in the single malts which combine to create Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

Blue Label is Johnnie Walker’s premium single malt. Only 1 in a 1000 barrels make the grade to Blue label. The quality shines through, backed with a smoothness and a strong depth of flavour. The price of Johnie Walker blue label is all too irrelevant once tasted.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label Whisky
This whisky orientated tasting menu starts from September. Upon arrival, guests will be guided through the specially crafted seasonal menu. Each course, such as a terrine of ham and parsley with pear chutney or Bitter Valrhona chocolate tart, is paired with a single malt or other expression of Johnnie Walker.

Guests will be introduced to each whisky as it arrives at the table and appreciate its versatility by trying each liquid straight, chilled, iced or with water to understand the complex flavours and varying strength before finally matching it to their own palate and enjoying the food.

To culminate, diners will be presented with a perfect serve of Johnnie Walker Blue Label and they will be able to draw on the knowledge acquired throughout the evening to appreciate the deep and varied flavours present in each sip.

An entertaining and educational evening. A dedicated whisky expert will guide you through each course. For whiskey tasting London can offer no better venue.
Allan Pickett, Head Chef at Plateau: “Few people think of whisky as a drink to accompany dinner, but it can be an incredible match with the right dishes. Our whisky expert will explain how and why I created this special menu, in what promises to be a fascinating evening.”

As I have said, the incredibly reasonable cost of Johnnie Walker blue label (http://www.johnniewalker.com) is irrelevant. The cost of this rather special evening is priceless, but just for you, details are below.

The Johnnie Walker Blue Label exclusive tasting experience will be available from 1 September 2010 in Plateau’s private dining spaces for £95 per head. Reservations must be made in advance (http://www.plateaurestaurant.co.uk)

Interior Home Decor With Katharine Pooley Boutique

2010-08-20T07:37:42Z

Katharine Pooley is a very special, driven individual, with an eye for exquisite luxury interior home design.

In fact, she is in serious demand. Her unique style, well suited to the high end market, has completed projects including a London home in Belgravia, beach villa in Phuket, Thailand, a 16th century castle in Scotland and ski-lodge in Colorado.

The 14 strong interior design team Katharine Pooley has assembled is now complimented by her exclusive boutique in London’s Walton Street. This luxury store operates as a showcase for her elegant interiors and home accessories.

Coming away from the Interior Home Decor , It’s the home accessories I want to draw your attention to. High end homewares that really do have the Katharine Pooley stamp.

Zlata Vase in 24 carat gold and glass - £1,125
Just a simply stunning Vase. The gold works its magic here. In a well designed room, this would shine.

Black Chain Frame in silver and shagreen - £170 Quality written all over this frame. A great bold classic.

Cerro Alpaca, alpaca and black goat horn tray - £225 I love it! Quirky (mad, even!) yet at the forefront of modern styling.

As good as it gets. The interior design is masterful and well thought out.

Clearly, so are the home accessories. A little early perhaps, but what fantastic Christmas gifts these would make.
