Wine tasting and pizza making

I've just come home from a yummy cruise on the newly refurbished Grand Princess ship and had a great time wine tasting in Corsica and pizza-making in Naples.

The week before I was at the naming ceremony of Celebrity Silhouette in Hamburg - both features will be in the Mail on Sunday next month.

Check out Coast magazine this month (p114) to see my feature about the beautiful Isle of Bute!

Yukon: larger than life
