I always take the first week of the summer holidays off with the kids and, while it should mean lots of downtime, I’m still writing this from the kitchen at 11pm. I have working-mum guilt. And so while I am squeezing in one hour of work first thing,...

Well ... school’s out and the children practically made a bonfire out of their uniform in celebration. We were barely out of the school gates before the shoes came off and the hair came down. I was shown approximately ten thousand bits of artwork wh...

Life is short. What that means in my book is there is definitely room for dessert and wine. The problem is if we stretch the “life is short” philosophy too far, then we risk life getting infinitely shorter. I don’t know about you, but I have no des...

People often highlight Jeremiah Josey as someone who has overcome the odds. He has autism but, at 20, he is a published author and has made a name for himself in the culinary world, where he often runs with celebrity chefs such as Marcus Samuelsson. ...

If any of you were watching the Bermuda Day Half Marathon Derby last week, then you might have seen a couch on wheels flying by. “Flying” is possibly an exaggeration. We did well for the first six miles and then the rubber burnt off our front wheels...

It’s been a crazy week over at Natural HQ. First we had Beat the Couch race day, then I began the Ignite Bermuda entrepreneurial accelerator programme and we’ve just launched the third round of Nutrifit for this year. You could say that there are a ...

I love this time of year for sports in Bermuda. Everyone is pumped following the triathlon and the May 24 half-marathon is on the horizon. Seeing lots of friends and clients ace their sprint or Olympic distance last weekend was totally motivating. I’...

Once upon a time I was so tired I put the iron away in the fridge. I arrived at work with no shoes on, I misspelt my own name, I signed off an e-mail “best retards” (horror). I left water running into the tank until it overflowed; I forgot to pay Bel...

A pair of Bermuda chefs have been honoured for their work as kitchen trailblazers. Herbie Bascome and Fred Ming were presented with Distinguished Service Award plaques at the Bermuda Triangle of Chefs: Past, Present and Future event. Diallo Rabain,...

Renee Daniels had always dreamt of being a cook but it wasn’t until she won the praise of Marcus Samuelsson that her dream became a reality. She beat out competition from her fellow Bermuda College culinary students to win a contract at Marcus’, the...
