Are you already dreading the fact that the festive season is approaching rapidly? Walking into shops the other day and reeling in horror at the sight of Christmas cards, chocolates, food, even mince pies, and turkey (oh yes, it's true, in September!),I found myself suddenly becoming rather excited at the prospect of two things: Stocking up on boxes of chocolate, telling myself that I am....

That’s why I often travel the globe working with rock stars, celebrities, diplomats and even royalty. So what’s the key to finding the answers?
