Christmas Sangria Recipe Thursday, 4 December 2008
This recipe is great to have with brunch, Christmas lunch or with Christmas nibbles and drinks.

Mix together in a cool decanter, water bottle or bowl 1 cup of orange juice and I cup of pineapple juice. Cut in half and slice a lemon and an orange and add to the juice mix. Throw in a punnet of cut strawberries. Finally, add some chilled soda water or lemonade before serving. To spice things up for the grown ups, add a bottle of rosé instead of the pineapple juice. This will serve 8-10 people.

Surviving the party season. Monday, 24 November 2008
We all await this time of year – the chance to let the hair down and enjoy a few more long lunches than usual. If your social calendar is overflowing and you’re wondering how on earth you’ll arrive at Christmas in one piece, here are some handy hints for surviving the party season.


· You don’t have to attend EVERYTHING. Decide what’s important, and gracefully decline the rest

· Don’t drink on an empty stomach

· Boost the vitamins to supplement your Christmas party diet (vitamin C is great for the immune system & hangovers, and vitamin B boosts energy levels)

· Gentle exercise works wonders for busy bodies

· Schedule some time out
