THE VIRGIN ISSUE – VINYL RIOT

A lovely young man called Chris Petres contacted me a few weeks ago and we chatted about things to love and things to hate. Here are the fruits of our interview, and the first fresh virginal issue of Vinyl Riot magazine, an online magazine (go environment!) which “anyone in the world with an internet connection [...]

PRINCE HENRI, PART SIX: “PRINCESS CAROLINE’S Fencing Ring and Velveteen Things”

It was a crisp Spring day when Caroline rose to take her weekly fencing lessons with her father. The Princess was rested and fresh as the flower buds on the tree branches as she sprang down the stairs past the Ice-cream parlour with its closed pastel doors, the bowling alley, and Tramp-room. “La di dah dah” [...]
