My Love of Film

Chocolate. Such a nice word, isn\’t it? Dark Chocolate – even better. When it\’s good it\’s oh so good but when it\’s bad it can turn people off forever as it did me when I was younger. It wasn\’t until my early twenties when I lived in New Zealand and went to a chocolate factory…

At 11am, I walked into the Four Seasons Georges V and checked into a very large, cosy and terribly elegant suite.
