So now we gotta deliver…and our fabulous customer John Lewis has featured me in their ‘Editions’ mag (4 page article!), their main catalogue (2 full pages!) and their Xmas gift guide (Full page!)…not to mention opening their new store in my manor Chester…so the pressure is on and joy of joys, the container has docked and the brand new Octagon collection is hitting the stores…Hope you like!!

A Paris Encore with my mate Digby, showing and telling at Maison et Objet. I love that show and the chance to spend a fairly laddish week doing the biz whilst painting the town red is just the best…The Biz was strong and the Red was surely painted…

Ever fancied razzing down a mountain as fast as you can go on two wheels? Ever fancied doing it down the highest mountain in the UK? Ever fancied watching your nearest and dearest do that? Well all I can say is its SCARY, but…it is FUN!! So here is a pic of my eldest son Alfie safe and sound at the bottom…nice one Alf…except that on the next run he fell off…OUCH! Still, nothing like learning from risk taking…particularly if it gives the rest of us an excuse to explore the beauty and wonders of the Scottish Highlands…

One of my favourite London shops (and one of my favourite customers!) is the Southbank Centre by the Royal Festival Hall and they had all my stuff in the window for the 60th Anniversary celebrations – totally cool!
