A Rose by any other name

Advantages: Cheap, comfortable
Disadvantages: No factilities

...People mention Italy, you think of Roma with it?s beautiful architecture, it?s Roman heritage, the Vatican. You think of Milan, the height of fashion, you think of Ferrari, you think of hills, lakes, the beach. Then you get Latina! Latina is a city about 75Km south of Roma, on the western side of Italy. The city itself was built in the 1930?s by Mussolini, to give people work, so there is no real heritage there, it is fairly plain, and functional. The city of Latina really doesn?t get tourists, as most go past it from Roma to Napoli, or the other way round, on the main road! ** Where is it?** The Rose hotel is situated at the Southern end of the city in Via die Volsini, just off of the Via dei Monti Lepini. It is fairly easy to find, you just follow the inner ring road (it helps if you can drive like a maniac, give no signals...

Review of The Rose Hotel - Latina

Roses are Red....

Advantages: Beautiful flowers, wonderful variety
Disadvantages: Take a lot of care

...As part of my review into roses, I plan to review the main areas of rose growing in detail. The areas that I will cover are, how to design gardens to incorporate roses, the preparation of the soil and the physical planting of roses and the routine care required for rose growing. Unfortunately, I think this may be quite a long review, as I have so much to say about them! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESIGNING WITH ROSES -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The beauty of the rose family is that it doesn't matter whether you choose old garden roses, for their gracious growing habit, foliage and scent, or whether you choose to grow modern roses for their very long flowering season or their fantastic blooms, the massive diversity of the rose family means...

Review of Roses

Not quite a bunch of roses : Cadbury's Roses

Advantages: Nice chocolate, a couple of good fillings
Disadvantages: Lack of variety of fillings, lots of old flavours are now missing

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was feeling a bit sorry for myself the other day (no specific reason why - just one of those days), and when in that frame of mind, there is only one thing which can ride me through until a better mood is upon me.......chocolate! While in Morrisons, I looked all through the usual offerings of things like Kit-Kats, Bounty Bars, Maltesers etc., but none of them seemed to appeal to me. Then, my eyes rested on a wire trolley-load of boxes of Cadbury's Roses, on special offer, at £1.99. My eyes kind of lit up, my spirits lifted slightly, and I dumped one of the boxes in my trolley. I actually forgot I'd bought them until I got home and unpacked the shopping. Now, I don't trust myself with this amount of chocolates, especially if I'm using them as comfort food, as I can be in danger of eating the whole box all at once - so, I divided...

Review of Cadbury Roses

Do you prefer daisies or roses?

Advantages: Versatility, great flavours, high quality
Disadvantages: No strong smell

...Every now and then, my dear mum decides to treat us. Whether its on a day out, a trip to the cinema or a special meal for tea, she usually makes a big effot at least once every two to three weeks. I love these times, when me, my mum and two younger brothers go out for a posh meal to a big fancy restuarant or we drive 3 hours to a theme park and spend the night in a hotel. Sometimes though my mum is slightly tight for money and has to put the treat off untill the next week, although she doesnt do this often, when she does she feels really bad and she always trys to make it up to us- introduce Cadburys Roses. Couple of months back, my mum had just paid for a trip to Germany and was slightly strapped for cash and so our monthly treat was going to have to wait. So, around that time when she had just popped to the shop for milk...

Review of Cadbury Roses

Why are they called Roses?

Advantages: Lovely cadbury chocolate
Disadvantages: Centres not as good as they used to be.

...Before Christmas several shops had offers for tins of chocolates and I bought a big tin of Cadbury Roses. We are still digging into them but I have sampled them all, even the ones I dislike! My tin contained 1.05kg, I do wish I had counted how many chocolates were in the tin, but on second thoughts I don't want to know how many we have consumed although they have been shared with friends and family! Best before date is April 2009, I was surprised to see the contents are stamped on the base although different chocolates could be replaced if necessary. There is information on the makers Cadbury Trebor Bassett and contact details, if you need to complain. Although it does say there could be a white bloom if the chocolates have been left in the sun or exposed to heat, which is harmless. There is a list of ingredients and a note that Soya...

Rose Fantastique

Advantages: Great quality, innovative - great shades available
Disadvantages: This shade is not easy to get your hands on,

...ensure that it's safe to use. Depending on how sharp you like your point, you shouldn't need to sharpen this too often either, so you'll definitely get your money's worth out of this pencil. Price and Availability Speaking of getting your money's worth...the Bourjois Khôl & Contour eye-liner pencil retails at £4.20 at Boots. However, getting your hand on the Rose Fantaisiste shade could prove tricky, since it's not available on the Boots website. I can't say whether or not it is still available in store, as I haven't had any reason to look out for it since I bought it. I've had mine for over a year now and it's still going strong. If you're interested in other shades, the Boots website has 7 different shades (albeit it two different black shades and their new, double-ended black and white Khôl Contour pencil). The Bourjois website...

Review of Bourjois Khol & Contour Eyeliner Pencil 08 Rose Fantaisiste

A NICE BUNCH OF ROSES

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...There always seems to be a very large amount of chocolate around my house at Christmas. This year there were, among others two large boxes of Cadburys Roses. I am not a huge fan of chocolate, it tastes nice enough but I am not obsessive about it. Some people take this as offensive, but I tend to pig out over Christmas time in several ways and eating is one of them. Cadburys Roses found there way around my house this Christmas, here is my review of them. There are two new sweets in this box of Roses, Chocolate Bite and Noisette Moment. Both are good enough, there are very few sweets that I do not like, the chocolate bite especially I a nice addition. But there is still something missing…The Strawberry, Coffee and Orange Cream have all gone. Changes with the Roses, is this a marketing ploy or adapting to tastes? Whatever, I...

Review of The Purple Rose Of Cairo (DVD)

Audrey Rose: Is she or isn't she?

Advantages: Very watchable, interesting storyline, quite scary in parts
Disadvantages: Rather dated, a little stilted acting here & there

...RELEASED: April 1977 MAIN CAST:- Elliot Hoover (played by Anthony Hopkins) Janice Templeton (played by Marsha Mason) Bill Templeton (played by John Beck) Ivy Templeton (played by Susan Swift) DIRECTOR: Robert Wise PRODUCERS: Frank De Felitta, Robert Wise SCREENPLAY: Frank De Felitta MUSICAL SCORE: Michael Small ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Audrey Rose was adapted from Frank De Felitta's novel of the same name, and released as a film in 1977. The scene is New York, and the Templetons seem like a happy, fairly well-heeled family, who live in a hotel which overlooks Central Park. Bill Templeton loves his wife and daughter, but is a rather stressed-out individual who works hard and long hours for an advertising agency. Janice Templeton is a loving mother who appears to have devoted her life...

Review of Audrey Rose (DVD)

Roses, Roses Everywhere!

Advantages: Traditional Christmas Chocolates
Disadvantages: There are none left by New Year

...The time for celebrating the birth of Jesus is approaching and for some reason, I know not why, we seem to eat more chocolate at this time of year than any other. Go round any supermarket at this time and there are random heaps of tins in all corners, they are on special offer, or two for one offers, or just there, but you can't miss them. Our favourite and the most traditional that we can remember are Cadburys Roses. When the children were little my parents always bought us a tin for Christmas and we opened it on Christmas Eve, there was nothing left in the tin by new years eve but by then we had had enough chocolates to last us most of January. My birthday falls in the second half of January anyway so by the time we got the fancy for chocolate back I usually got some which we could share. Now, over the years we have seen...
