Last Minute Christmas Gifts: Personalised photo book service Pocket Memories

Anyone looking for a last minute Christmas gift look no further: Pocket Memories is a new app that has recently launched offering a high-quality personalised photo book service.

As a precious keepsake, these photo books are created using clever technology to instantly bring your design to life. Gone are the days of creating fiddly photo books – using the Pocket Memories app, users can choose pictures straight from their own camera roll to achieve these personalised designs in a matter of minutes. There is also none of that faff of putting individual pictures into a photo album. I tried the service and it was so quick and easy-to-use. I cannot recommend it enough.

During uncertain times, they are a fantastic and thoughtful gift for your loved ones. This year we have all missed our family and what would be a better gift than a reminder of beautiful memories?

Fox News Boss Lachlan Murdoch Is New Owner Of Cheryl Tiegs’ Home

Lachlan Murdoch, CEO of Fox Corporation, co-chair of the Wall Street Journal and son of Rupert Murdoch, has purchased his supermodel-neighbor Cheryl Tiegs’ Balinese-style home for $14.1 million. The home was listed at $18.5 million.

Although Murdoch has not explained why he bought his neighbor’s home, it was likely for more privacy as Tiegs’ 1.5 acres adjoins his 10-acre estate, Chartwell Mansion, that he bought last year for $150 million. When it was the most expensive home on the market in the United States. Chartwell, seen as the TV home of the oil-rich Clampett family in the 1960’s sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies, was originally priced at an eye-watering $350 million. Murdoch now owns a massive statement property and added Cheryl’s home with its tropical touches.

The Tiegs home, both inside and out, has the look and feel of an island in the tropics with its own koi pond and lily pads at the entrance behind gates that open to a long drive adding more privacy. Palms, huge Monstera vines and tropical flowers abound in the landscape and along paths. The house itself is a study in bold natural elements, textures and colors from fabrics, floors, glass walls opening to vegetation and stunning hilltop views.

Heeltap London

Perfect evenings spent outside with great food, fabulous cocktails and our trusty camera in tow. Food photography is one of my total favourite pastimes. Food reviews are even better as we actually get to eat the food after shooting it. We get to sample delicious meals so you guys know where’s hot and happening. Heeltap is a heck of a find and if you already know this place you need to revisit it as soon as possible. Once you do you will know why we are about to give it rave reviews. If you don’t then you need to seek it out. Tucked in a little corner off London Bridge you could miss it if you didn’t know it was there. Now we eat out and shoot at countless places all the time but this is in our top 10 of all time. Yes we are rating this heavenly place 10/10. They have recently revamped all the offerings at this little bar and we can say hand on heart they have got it spot on. Its buzzing and thriving, so whatever they are doing its working.

The entire evening we spent sampling their new menu and it was divine. The cocktails where superior, the staff incredible and the food was so delicious we’d happily eat there every day of the week.

We arrived and settled in our seats with a couple of cocktails. An Espresso martini for me and a Long Island iced tea for Ian. These set us up perfectly for our food.

An Espresso martini for me and a Long Island iced tea for Ian. These set us up perfectly for our food.  The new menu is packed with simple and ravishingly dribblsome dishes. If you like burgers this is the place to come. Home cooked brioche buns cooked fresh using the chefs grandmas secret recipe! Just these alone will make you want to eat here every night of the week.   Our dishes where served we got stuck in straight away. Ian went for the jerk chicken burger with fries and I had the spicy option. Jalapeño and chorizo burger with sides of Parmesan, truffle oil fried and a fresh tomato and basil leaf salad. Eyes always bigger than my belly I endeavoured to eat it all!   The chat at this point stopped while we savoured each and every morsel. Jealous on lookers stated that the food looked spectacular and we can report it was as good as it looked.   My burger was perfectly seasoned with heavenly and hot spices. It was garnished with Gherkins, tomatoes, lettuce and the dressing created the most amazing kick. Simply the best burger tower know to mankind!   Ian's burger was pretty much devotedly demolished along with satisfied mumbling! As he took bite after bite the dressing oozed out and made the ideal amount of mess. Finger licking goodness to satisfy any soul.  Now normally I'm all about the burgers but here we have a slight problem. I have a real addictive nature when it comes to their Parmesan and truffle oil fries. They where definitely the best thing about the entire meal. They know me and I was allowed to order these off menu. I'm sure if you take a visit and mention this article you might just be able to get the chef to rustle you up a plate or 3!! They are simply the best.   Now at this stage we where rather full....But pudding was offered...We do what we do for you guys. Remember that if you ever see us out stuffing our faces! We do it for you.....And the fact that you can't not have a sticky toffee Sunday when it's up for grabs. An odd mix but by gosh was it good. Custard is a thing of the past my friends. Velvety ice cream is the only thing to serve with toffee these days!   So the verdicts in....We give Heeltap one of the biggest thumbs up for excellence, staff attentiveness, friendliness and a double thumbs up for the fabulous food!   Find them on Twitter here. And dash off to see them near London Bridge.  Take a wander over to their website to see the new menu and get those taste buds working over time!

Holborn Dining Room

The Holborn Dining Room is a beautiful classy and chilled establishment. The interior is splendid but isn’t as impressive as the outside area in when the sun is shining. We headed out for a wander mid afternoon to grab a few drinks and stumbled upon this place. The menu was basic, delicious, and very impressive. We plumped for good old fish finger sandwich and a classic chicken and bacon salad. Washed down with a few Gin cocktails.

 

With seasonal, locally sourced British cuisine on the menu this place will go down very well when needing to impress a lady or friends. Grab yourself a pint of local lager a burger or a glass of fizz and a pint of prawns. Fine wines are on offer at this renowned restaurant.

Holborn Dining Room is a welcome find for us. London life is so very grand when you find places just like this to share with all of you. It’s possibly one of the nicest bars on the scene in the city.

Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining RoomThe first cocktails we tested where the Hendricks and the G Vine. The G Vine was simply amazing flavoured with elderflower tonic and garnished with grapes. I happily sat and sipped while we waited for the food to arrive. This place is where you need to chill and soak up the amazing atmosphere. Their is no rush, just take your time to relax.

Another cocktail before we ate… This one was the Smooth Amber, garnished with cinnamon and orange zest. Pocky and pretty darn good. Ian went for a more simple one. The sipsmith, flavoured with juniper, lemon and orange. Both had us feeling chilled in a matter of moments! Ready for some food by this point and we where not disappointed. Out came our dishes served by a lovely waitress. We chatted for a few moments about how grand it would be to stay in one of the many rooms on offer. You can actually rent an entire floor in the hotel, POA of course! Other rooms start from around £250 per night if you are tempted.

Who would have thought a simple chicken and bacon salad could look this divine and taste so utterly wonderful. A side of chips as thats just how we like to roll! Ian’s fish finger sandwich was severed on sourdough bread. A little fiddly to eat but impressive none the less. It was garnished with horseradish and by all accounts was really rather a good choice. The menu is made up of simple dishes with a twist. All the other dishes being served to various tables looked and smelt divine. This is most certainly one place we need to come back to review the evenings offerings.

Well worth a little trip very soon if your in the area. The prices reflect the area and the quality of the food. Not an everyday treat for some but possibly the nicest of afternoons you could have. We spent the rest of the day wandering back home with full bellies and happy smiles.

Lara Stone Shows Off Post-Baby Body in Photoshop-Free Photoshoot

I am not normally a fan of nude pictures of women. Most are degrading or just calls for attention from the otherwise talentless. Not so much for Lara Stone however, who has bravely showed off her post-baby body one year after childbirth sans photoshop. The 30-year-old Danish model and wife of our very own David Walliams posed for legendary photographer Juergen Teller.  The spread is for boundary-pushing System Magazine. She looks as beautiful as ever. Even more so because she looks real and not like a overtly-photoshopped mannequin with no personality or natural beauty left. Go Lara.
