As the seasons turn, it becomes less appropriate to drink The King’s Ginger neat (to warm one’s cockles), and more of a time to start thinking about long, cold cocktails to drink in the warm sunshine. Or maybe it’s just the two days of sunshine we had that’s made me do some seriously wishful thinking!…

Tools of the trade
A story for you today. As a blogger with a reasonable following, I often get contacted by companies and agencies wanting to send me all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Sometimes I say, ‘ooh, yes please’, sometimes I say, ‘ooh, no thank you’ (and sometimes I say ‘ooh, no thank you’, when really I…
Roaring Engines in the Roaring 20s
Occasionally, I get the chance to go out of my comfort zone and write about something a little different so here, for your Monday delight is just that! This post is all about the motor cars of the 1920s as seen in the Great Gatsby and is brought to you in association with Adrian Flux….
A Tuscan Adventure: Part Three
At last, I hear you cry! The final part of my Tuscan food, wine and vintage car adventure is here. Just going back through these photos has made me pine for the three days of glorious eating, drinking, driving and delight. The third and final day of mine and Naomi‘s trip was over far too…
Cars, caravans & candy stripes
Step this way and into my blog post all about the Haslemere Classic Car Show! It was a scorching day, but a lovely one, with so many things to see and do. The absolute highlight for me was finding (and being allowed to pose inside) a fully-restored 1948 caravan, found abandoned in a farm shop…

A Tuscan Adventure: Part Two
Hello, and welcome to the second part of my Italian Adventure, this time with more burning rubber and gleaming chrome! And wood! My outfit is a two-piece from Pinup Parade… gypsy chic! The second day of our trip was the Big One. This was the day that we (and by we, I mean I) were…
Ps and Qs. Mostly Qs
Manners are very important. I was brought up to be a nice girl and always say please and thank you. And, as this blog grows in popularity and readership, I often get sent things, or invited to things; and so quite a few thank yous have been in the pipeline and it’s time I addressed…
Internal Combustion
This is the second in a series of adventures I’ve been sent on, by and for The King’s Ginger. I’m following the life, loves and hobbies of King Edward VII, spinning you all an entertaining yarn or two, and, since this is of course primarily a fashion blog, showing lots of pictures of me in…
White rabbits
Happy June everyone! I’m looking forward to this month, and all the debauchery and shenanigans it holds. This time last year, I had no inkling of the epic fail that the rest of the year was to become for me, and this year has been one of much change so far. This time next month,…
