Dear
Reader,
|
|
This week I nearly bought a racehorse. Bear with me, I’m
still quite tempted. I blame the persuasive charm of one Hon
Harry Herbert, who founded the Highclere
Thoroughbred Racing syndicate, which was the
first of its kind back in the day and is still the most
pre-eminent. It’s not just the horses that have the finest
pedigrees, Harry’s father, the 7th Earl of Carnarvon, was the
legendary trainer of the Queen’s horses. Better known as
‘Porchey’, he was as they tell us in The Crown,
the Queen’s greatest confidante. For a cool £5,000 (minimum), you
can dip a toe in the dazzling world of Thoroughbreds, sweat,
tears and adrenaline – and share royal boxes with sheiks,
royals and captains of industry. Beware though, says Harry, people
don’t invest to make money (though he assures me most do), they
invest for the passion and the fun. Sounds as good a reason as
any.
Have a great week.

If limoncello-fused balmy evenings gazing from
frond-covered terraces and a plate of spaghetti vongole are your idea
of heaven, then a summer sojourn to the Amalfi Coast might be just
what the doctor ordered. A new airport opening in
July awaits…

Guilt-Free
Denim
|

Jeans are generally the poster child for
fashion’s bad reputation because they are so resource heavy to make.
But designers are getting creative and guaranteeing front row style
kudos by updating old pairs. Here’s what you should
know.
