Here's the little rascal himself, albeit, standing and not swinging! He must be the Elvis Presley of iconic cartoon characters. As ubiquitous as Coca Cola or MacDonalds...Next  to him, Donald Duck, Pluto and Popeye pale into comparison. What is it about this big...

I'm posting this picture of Ian Dury in honour of his brilliant song Spasticus Autisticus, which was featured in the Paralympic opening ceremony last night! The rage that Ian felt was searingly articulated in his life's work. He was a genius in his own particular...

I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, the sight of toffee apples like these would send me into a state of instant rapture. There's something about the combination of the hard sweet toffee coating contrasted with the crisp fresh crunchiness of the underlying...

And now for something completely different… A rainbow assortment of Le Creuset Casseroles! Every housewife's dream! Which colour do you prefer to cook in? Personally, I go for the orange. I watched Julie and Julia ( as in Child's) the other day, and became...

Here are some of my HIV AIDS badges. I love each one. I wear the smallest when I'm working with UNAIDS. The biggest sequinned one was specially made for me, and the two beaded ones are from South Africa, as you can see from the beautifully distinctive flag. The...

Even the carpet in my dressing room was a Union Jack! I honestly feel these games have done a lot to transform the perception of this sceptred isle... I love the feeling of inclusion and diversity..and everyone being involved with together! 3 - Britain's position in...

 I've been preparing for my performance during the Great British Symphony at the closing ceremony for the Olympics for quite some time, but was sworn to secrecy and had to keep it under wraps. I'm so proud of the whole production team, who've done the most...
