With travel firmly on my mind, I thought I would share tips taken from this months issue of Easy Living.  The first recommends picturelizard.co.uk – send them your picture and they will process it into a passport photo and return to you for just £2.99.  So much better than an unflattering, emergency photobooth job.  Then there is skyscanner.net which is apparently the best price-comparison flight finder.  Always handy when planning a last minute get away.  Finally nytimes.com/themoment is the travel section of the New York Times and covers all things stylish.  Worth a look.  Sorry, this is a rather lazy entry, but this time of year is like that – family weddings, school events, oh, the birth of my niece and of course my work of which more to follow shortly. x

Last year I was lucky enough to travel to India with my family and dear friends.  We were there for the festival of ‘Holi’ and you can read all about it an article I wrote for the Guardian Travel pages.
