It’s that time of year again when Champagne offers are everywhere, in a bid to try and tempt us to spend our money earlier. If your clever, now is the time to stock up for Christmas, saving you a few pounds in the process. One of the top deals at the moment is this Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne down to £15 from £25. It is a light and fruity Champagne with fine discreet bubbles and subtle overtones of apples and pears. Has undergone 4 years cellar ageing. Perfect for warming up the colder nights. A great steal for the weekend too.

The Pentax 645D’s headline feature is its 40MP CCD sensor: measuring 44 x 33mm, images reach a top resolution of 7264 x 5440 pixels, giving plenty of scope for some pretty severe cropping if necessary, as well as extremely high-quality large format printing options.
This month sees the release of the Morgan Plus 8, and the lightest V8 passenger car in the world also. Morgan have used technology from the aircraft industry to achieve a weight of just 1100kgs.

It is often said that it’s the small details that make the difference, and this is no more apparent than when talking about evening wear. With the party season upon us, it is time to start thinking about what to wear, and no, it’s not as simple as just wearing a dinner jacket. There are
