It's was quite the rollercoaster in 2022, with a new King and a lot of Prime Ministers.Not to mention the disappointing World Cup result, the rocketing fuel bills or Matt Hancock making it to the final of I'm A Celebrity.But Glastonbury was back! And the Queen's Platinum Jubilee got the country firmly in the party spirit.Then the scorching summer gave way to an icy blast that had us hugging our hot water bottles. And Harry and Meghan released that documentary.But even though 2022 was sometimes memorable for all the wrong reasons, there's every reason to be positive about 2023.And even though the Coronation of King Charles III, on Saturday, May 6, 2023, will be a ‘slimmed down' affair, we can expect the famous gold coach and plenty of pomp and pageantry.Plus we get an extra bank holiday – on Monday, May 8, 2023.The lads didn't manage to bring it home, but now the Lionesses step up for the Women's World Cup.Matches start on July 20, 2023, and run for a month, at venues in Australia and New Zealand.Their Euro 2022 win at Wembley was epic and there's every reason to hope the Lionesses can lift that trophy.Upcoming movies include Harrison Ford back for a final hurrah in Indiana Jones 5: The Dial Of Destiny, while the pink-tinged trailer depicting Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling hooking up as Barbie and Ken is to die for.Plus what promises to be the wackiest movie of 2023: Cocaine Bear. It's inspired by a true story of a bear who ingests a truckload of cocaine – and the trailer is quite something.Thanks to our very own Space Man, Sam Ryder, finally breaking our wretched run and coming second to Ukraine, the UK will host the festival of fabulousness that is Eurovision.It's all happening in Liverpool, and tickets will go on sale for the semi-finals on May 9 and 11, and for the Grand Final on May 13.

Harriet Hastings launched Biscuiteers in 2007 after identifying a gap in the market for luxury food gifting. Over the past 15 years she has grown the business from a small startup to a unique artisan business working at scale and employing over 150 people. Biscuiteers' beautiful hand-iced biscuits are sold directly online as post-able biscuits and are available to buy in retailers including Selfridge's, Hamley's, Harvey Nichols, and at the Royal Palaces. Outside of the UK, Biscuiteers ships to countries around the world, with the US and Australia the next biggest markets after the UK. Corporate clients include Google, Barclays, Chanel and Christian Dior.  The business is headquartered in Wimbledon at the Ministry of Biscuits, a purpose-built head office and bakery, where over 3 million biscuits are iced each year. In 2012, Biscuiteers expanded its offering, opening the world's first ever Icing Cafe located in Notting Hill where both adults and children can learn how to ice like a Biscuiteer. It now has an additional flagship location in Belgravia (opened in 2021) where customers can see live icing on display for the first time. Biscuiteers holds the license for Paddington, Mr Men, Beatrix Potter, The Snowman, the RHS and Monopoly, and has achieved some impressive biscuit feats over the years, having recreated Covent Garden, Leeds Castle and Waddesdon Manor in gingerbread, the latter taking 500 hours to complete. In 2022 it even got the royal seal of approval with a Biscuiteers x Buckingham Palace collection created with the Royal Collection for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Listen in to find out more about Harriet's journey and how she was able to collaborate with fantastic brands.Find out more about Harriet Hastings via: LinkedIn.Find out more about Biscuiteers via: website, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn.A new episode EVERY WEEK, showcasing the journeys of inspirational entrepreneurs, side hustlers and their mentors.

My guest today and I have never met or worked together before, but we do have a “Quebec” connection that we will talk about in this interview. His first season was in Club Med Martinique in May of 1987 as a Waterski G.O. From Napa Valley, please help me welcome to the podcast, Steve McClaine!! Before Club Med, Steve attended the University of California (Berkeley) and obtained a Political Economy degree. He did not want to start using his degree just yet, so he taught skiing at Heavenly Mountain Resort in South Tahoe. One of the ski instructors mentioned Club Med to him and Steve took it from there. Steve also worked in the Club Med villages of Copper Mountain (April 1987-88) and Cancun as a Waterski G.O. in 1988. Steve tells an amazing story about a pre-college basketball player, who later helped win a fifth Championship for the NBA Chicago bulls in 1997. This story is incredible, so I will not spoil it here with more details, you'll just have to listen! Another amazing story is one Steve thought wasn't that interesting or even merit as a “fun fact” that I ask guests to provide for their interview. While he was at Berkeley, Steve played trumpet and percussion for the University of California Marching Band. In March of 1983, Queen Elizabeth (RIP) and Prince Philippe came to San Francisco aboard the royal yacht Britannia to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, in a ten-day trip across the state of California. Steve, as part of the Berkeley marching band, performed for the Queen with the San Francisco Ballet at the Louis M. Davies Symphony Hall as part of a San Francisco/Americana-type show. Because the Queen enjoyed the show so much, they were invited back the next day to the pier where the Britannia was docked and the Queen watched the show from the balcony. Steve didn't think this was a fun fact! We cover quite a lot in this interview and how different Club Med was back then in the 1980's. Steve ends the interview by telling us the three things he misses the most about Club Med. Please enjoy! **My First Season podcast has always been free to listen to and is available on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.

Captagon is a popular recreational drug used across the Middle East and Arabian Gulf. It can temporarily boost a user's mood - though long-term it is highly addictive. Production is concentrated in Syria, and smuggled across the border into Jordan and onto the Gulf. Officials in Jordan say militant groups are profiting from the production of the drug, and Yolande Knell has been out on patrol with the people trying to stop them. About 2500 miles due south of Jordan, there is another criminal trade at large: the illegal catching and selling of Tanzanian fish. Mark Weston has been to Lake Victoria to hear about its controversial local delicacy: Nile Perch. Celebrations of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee are not restricted to Britain. Elizabeth II is head of state in 14 other countries, and a figurehead around the Commonwealth. Another country which feels a connection to Britain's royal family is Greece, because Prince Philip was born there, on the island of Corfu. Julia Langdon has been to the spot where the Queen's future husband began his life. The recent shootings in Texas and Buffalo garnered headlines around the world, but gun-violence is a full-time tragedy in the United States. More than 40,000 people are killed each year by gun-related injuries, and this affects many others indirectly. In New York, there has been a spate of shootings and other crimes on the subway, and now Laura Trevelyan thinks twice about whether to use it. For many Ukrainians, it has become a matter of principle to try and retain their normal way of life as far as possible, amidst the current horrors of the Russian invasion. Those horrors have touched the city of Odessa among others, with a series of missile strikes reminding residents how close they are to the invading troops. When Colin Freeman reached Odessa, however, he found himself in what, at times, felt suspiciously like a regular holiday resort.

The British culture is varied and vast and while one person's affection for the culture may include punk rock along with their love for the Beatles, another's affinities may gravitate toward the gardening and afternoon tea. While my predilections lean more toward the latter, whenever a culture speaks to us that is not the one in which we grew up in or were raised entirely, we owe it to ourselves to continue to explore because our intuition is speaking. As many readers of TSLL and listeners of the podcast know, TSLL derives much of its content from two cultures, the French and the British, specifically the ways of life that invite us to slow down, savor and invest in quality moments and approaches rather than quantity and superficial living to gain approval. Instead the only approval we seek is from within. In episode #144 I shared 20 ways for welcoming the French culture into your everyday life, and so it is well overdue that I should share a similar list for welcoming the British culture into your everyday life. After having now visited London on three separate occasions and the English countryside on two separate occasions, I enjoyed compiling this list as my life in Bend is a marriage of both my love of the French and British culture, incorporating from both the everyday rituals I love, savoring approaches, tastes, décor and ways of life that reminds me of two cultures that tickle my curiosity and nurture my true self most sincerely. Inspired by my most recent visit, but also drawing upon all of my experiences and fortunate opportunities to explore Britain, let's take a look at how we can welcome different ideas into our everyday life the British culture. ~Note to readers: Be sure to listen to the episode as each item listed below is discussed in much more detail in the audio version. 1. Create a tea ritual in your everyday routine The feline host at The Rookery in London, Bagheera, joined us for our morning tea. 2. Know, use correctly with confidence and be able to explain the difference in conversation between saying England, Great Britain/Britain and the United Kingdom ~tune in to the audio version for this episode where the differences are explained Check out this detailed and easy to follow post about the clear differences. 3. Subscribe to either AcornTV or BritBox (or both), and enjoy multiple series, films and BBC programs, some within hours of their airing in Britain The Art of the British Cosy Mystery: 16 Cosy Mysteries to Enjoy 10 British Comedies and Dramedies I Have Enjoyed (and Recommend) 4. Grow a garden no matter how large or small your outdoor space or balcony Touring gardens was a primary focus on this most recent trip, and Sissinghurst Castle Gardens inspired many ideas as well as soothed the mind and being as I wandered the grounds for hours. 5. Invite others to 'tea' at your home or for a Cuppa 6. Celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee this year ~Have you entered the Grand Giveaway for your chance to win Fortnum & Mason's Jubilee Hamper? Click here to do so. 7. Welcome cozy upholstered furniture (reupholstered an old favorite) into your home décor ~Staying at The Pig at Bridge Place introduced many ideas for cozy upholstery inspiration. 8. Watch football (aka soccer), or not and instead watch tennis or cricket or rugby 9. Have biscuits (shortbread cookies) or something simple to nibble on when having tea with guests at your home 10. Tune in via television or radio to the BBC "The oldest national broadcasting organisation in the world with a global reach, covering world events 24/7 and producing world-class entertainment". 11. Watch Ted Lasso on AppleTV+ A new season will likely be released this late summer/early fall. The first two seasons can be streamed in entirety now. 12. Acquire a high quality umbrella (and use it when it rains) ~James Smith & Sons in London on New Oxford was a must-stop during my recent trip to London. 13. Layer with pillows, let go of matchy-matchy Instead keep in the same color tone, and mix large and small prints with the occasional solid. 14. Find time to spend time at the oceanside 15. Make and enjoy scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam 16. Watch Come Dine With Me (on Channel 4) Premiering in 2005 and running for 27 seasons, so far, this reality series is a hit across Britain. 17. Find your favorite color of a pair of wellies and have them on hand 18. Make and enjoy a traditional Cornish Pasty 19. Watch The Great British Bake-Off each late summer/early fall 20. Enjoy a proper English Breakfast What exactly is a traditional English Breakfast (we're not talking about the tea here)? Sausages, back bacon (not a crispy version, but rather more hearty as it consists of a little bit of the loin and is smoked), eggs, tomatoes - pan seared and seasoned with salt and pepper, mushrooms, fried bread, and beans. 21. Practice your French Did you know that the Queen looks over the weekly menu given to her by the chef who writes the menu in French, as has every chef dating back to Queen Victoria's reign? Yep, and just another lovely reason to incorporate both cultures in some way into your daily life. :) 22. Practice thoughtful manners Give personal space (an arm's length distance), use both a fork and knife when dining, don't ask nosey questions, please and thank you, respect the queue, refrain from superlatives (i.e. the best, greatest, worst, tallest, shortest, most exciting, etc.) 23. Make and enjoy Yorkshire pudding (and it isn't a 'pudding') 24. Welcome trays into your everyday for serving tea, meals, courses, etc. ~Be sure to enter this giveaway to win a high quality, handmade rectangular tray with glass top. 25. Enjoy daily walks with your pups and say hello to passing pups During this trip walking was done both in the heart of London (seen here with Big Ben in the background) and in the English countryside as we toured Sissinghurst Castle Garden. This photo was captured after just having departed from The Tube in the morning on our way to Westminster Abbey, followed by a visit to The National Gallery and then to Claridge's for Afternoon Tea. Needless to say, Norman was missed, and our reunion upon arriving back in Bend was quite sweet. Enjoy English tea at home in Bend, Oregon, with Norman as my companion. Bliss.
