Fortnum’s is a theatre and every day they put on a show. This Christmas the aim is to exaggerate and emphasise this with tender quirky detail, humour and irony. Playing on tradition and the seasonal form of entertainment: Pantomime, but mixed with a little dusting of Burlesque magic.
Vita had launched a range of DAB radios with integrated iPod docks and CD/MP3 players. They had good distribution through specialist ‘hi-fi’ retailers and top-end department stores. The products had been well received by the industry particularly for their stunning looks.
A new exhibition – Teapots & Tapestries; A Celebration of Skills, opens at Fortnum & Mason this week; it is a journey into a world where craftsmanship is King.
As the year stretches ahead of us full of promise, there is no telling what excitement it might contain. Every month seems to offer an excuse for a celebration, a feast or an adventure, from birthdays and spring weddings to summer picnics and outdoor pursuits.
Spring must be one of the happiest words of the year, bringing with it the promise of longer days, warmer sunshine and new beginnings. As the cold winter ground gives way to new green shoots, so we all follow, peeling off our winter layers and emerging to greet the bright, spring days.
