I will admit something. Italian author and journalist Enrico Franceschini is a friend. And yes, I have read every single one of his books. Because when a proper journalist decides to write thrillers, I am first in the queue. From the days of Le notti di Mosca to the Romagna trilogy (Bassa Marea, Ferragosto and Un’estate a Borgomarina), and now this new one Arrivederci Londra, not to mention all…
On Wednesday night I did something that might sound mad. I turned down a press ticket to see Jack Savoretti at the Royal Albert Hall. A proper glamorous arena, red velvet seats, the whole thing. Instead I went to a tiny venue in Chelsea to watch a singer songwriter play to thirty people. That venue was the legendary Troubadour. That singer was Alex Kate. And I have not a single second of regret.
I have a confession. I am a massive fan of Richard III. Not the Shakespearean villain who murders children and shouts for a horse. The real man. The warrior king who introduced bail, translated laws into English so ordinary people could understand them, and basically laid the groundwork for our entire legal system. He was a genius and a pioneer. He protected the poor and the vulnerable. He walked…
Kike Agoro was scouted by Harvard at 18. An international athlete with top grades. But she found out two years too late to prepare. She missed her shot. That missed opportunity is why she built Raising Greats.
Kike grew up in East London with a single mum who held the family together through crisis. At 16 she opened her GCSE results. Eight A stars and three As at a school where only 30 percent…

Fully funded scholarship to Florida. Internships at Goldman Sachs, Barclays and Citibank. Forbes 30 Under 30. Built a 200,000 strong professional network from her bedroom. But none of that is why she started Raising…
As mothers, our mental to-do lists are endless. We track school schedules, plan family meals, and make sure everyone else’s health checks are up to date, usually leaving our own needs at the very bottom of the pile. For many mums, dental health is the first thing to be sidelined. Between the calcium depletion that often happens during pregnancy and the sheer exhaustion of the toddler years, our…
Custom lighting has become more than just decoration. It is now a way to express personality, build brand identity, and enhance spaces. Among all lighting options, custom neon signs have gained strong popularity for both homes and businesses.
But the real question is, are they actually worth the investment?
Let’s break it down in a practical and honest way so you can decide with…
June in London. The sun finally remembers it exists. The school term is limping towards the finish line. And you are already staring at the calendar wondering how to fill the weekends without hearing “I’m bored” before 10am. I have been there.
So I have put together a list of genuinely fun things to do with your children this June. No overhyped tourist traps. No activities that require…
There is a particular pressure that surrounds mothers and swimwear, and it is worth naming before anything else: the cultural expectation that a woman’s body should look a certain way before she is entitled to enjoy the beach without self-consciousness.
