Le Temps Du Tango - Ferre Leo

Advantages: Pleasant floral fragrance that has stood the test of time
Disadvantages: None

...Nina Ricci's most famous perfume, L'Air du Temps was created in France back in 1949. L'Air Du Temps means the "Air of Time. I particularly like wearing this perfume as it was the perfume I used on the day I got married. Whenever I use it myself or smell it on others it takes me back in time to that wonderful day when I said 'I do!' The perfume can be found in a delightful, elegant and unique, twin-dove crystal like bottle which was designed and created by Marc Lalique - a work of art in itself! The twin doves are actually the stopper on the bottle. The bottle is packaged in a box that boasts a distinctive yellow colour with attractive images of doves on the box. Even though it was first launched in 1949, Nina Ricci's classical floral fragrance L'air Du Temps has stood the test of time and still remains as popular as ever... Read review

Advantages: Unusual and brilliant spectacle
Disadvantages: Its all in French!

...We have travelled to the Vendee region of France several times and we had heard about The Grand Parc at Puy du Fou but it is billed as a Medieval Theme Park and it really didn't appeal to me! However having "done" many of the attractions in the area and faced with another day of dodgy weather (we were very unlucky in 2008) we decided to give it a go.

This seems to be common practice in the area so either book online or through your accomodation if possible to bag a bargain! They also informed me that it was a simple journey and would be well signposted off the A87. They mentioned that the road to The Grand Parc gets busy... Read review

Advantages: A masterpiece
Disadvantages: A very long masterpiece

...Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is an incredibly popular story. Well known and loved by many it has survived the passage of time and is as beguiling and popular now as it has ever been. I say story rather than novel as this has been the subject of many film and TV adaptations, from Greta Garbo in 1935 to Sophie Marceau in 1997 the IMDb website lists no less than 24 different adaptations, from all over the world. How popular the novel itself is is questionable, weighing in at over 800 pages it is quite daunting but if you've only seen the films you really have missed out. The novel is a masterpiece of literature and covers characters and themes far beyond the reach of film. I'll be honest and say that I've never seen any of these adaptations but from the synopsis' and commentaries I've read it seems that they focus almost entirely... Read review
