Music For Healing - Stephen Rhodes

Advantages: heals small wounds, burns quickly
Disadvantages: greasy, difficult to clean your hands

...I used Sudocrem for my sons as a nappy cream, but only when they had some problem. Now I use it on a daily basis. Advantages It is a very good healing cream that really works. I use it when I cut my finger, when we have any kind of minor burns or sunburn, other wounds. It is perfect as a nappy cream too. I used it effectively when my younger son's skin became very very dry from Johnson's baby top to toe wash. It healed in 2 weeks, but I used it 3 times a day. Disadvantages Actually I have only one problem with it, it is difficult to wash it from your hands. It's water resistant, so I need double amount of soap for cleaning my hands. Price I bought one just a few hours ago. I paid 2.59 pounds for 125g. It is worth buying a larger one if you use regularly, but it was the only one size in Sainsbury's. In Tesco I have seen smaller... Read review

Advantages: A book of sumptuous recipes many of which are used in Rhodes' own restaurants.
Disadvantages: Recipes are generally for more people than you find in the average family.

...I?ve always had a soft spot for Gary Rhodes right from his first series for the BBC back in 1994. No, it wasn?t the spiky hair (which I hated) or the puppyish charm (which grated) it was the fact that it did seem that the man could actually cook and his love of the food shone through in everything that he prepared. It didn?t even worry me that he?s thin when no chef has the right to be thin. He?s a cook; it?s what his life is about, whether he?s appearing on television, running his restaurants and brasseries or writing books. They are all part of a seamless whole. Go into the kitchens of his brasseries and you could well find that the chefs are working from photocopied pages from my latest find: his ?New British Classics?. First published in 1999 ?New British Classics? is not just a cook book; it?s a work of scholarship too... Read review

Advantages: Family friendly, all inclusive, next to beach
Disadvantages: Insects in rooms, no cash machine, not enough toilets

...Last week I came back from a holiday in Greece. We went to Rhodes and stayed in the Rodos Village in Kiotari. The Rodos Village is a 5 star all-inclusive resort which is situated in the east west coast of the island. We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel (this was a pre-paid transfer from our holiday provider) The taxi took around an hour to get to the hotel. Since our flight was overnight, we arrived at the airport at 4.45am, so it was great to hop into a taxi and get to the hotel quicker than the coach would have taken. We got to the hotel at around 6am. There are not only steps up to the hotel, but also a ramp. It was quite steep but it meant that I could wheel my bag up instead of carrying up the steps (always good if you're tired!) Check in was quick. No one was around at that time since it was so early, there was... Read review
