Are you the ‘Most in Show’?
I read an article recently where author Elizabeth Gilbert spoke of her ‘most in show’ approach to life following her multiple entries in a baking competition (no, not that one). I have to admit, I found this simple concept quite profound. Most of us have something that we like to think we’re the best at […]
Like, or dislike? By Lauren Clark
It was announced last week that the ever popular Facebook is working on the much talked about ‘dislike’ button. Mark Zuckerburg, Facebook CEO, announced to the press that the button was being installed; even stating that it was nearly user ready.

Let them eat cake
Not so much Marie Antoinette (for those of you up on your French history) for our MD this week, as Domestic Goddess (or so she liked to think). Never one to do anything by half measure, Caroline brought in two cakes for our consumption that week (yep, us too – what an unfair advantage…) for […]
