My saint bernard Sophia

Advantages: loving gentle protective always eager to please loyal and obedient
Disadvantages: expensive to feed, can have alot of health problems, a very large dog that needs alot of space

...settle in and to meet our 3 year old daughter sophia. Do you want to know the funny thing? the dog was called sophia too, and when they met it was like they where soul mates. doing everything together. sleeping eating playing. They loved eachother. if sophia my daughter fell over sophia the dog was always at her side to help her up and lick away the tears. my daughter could even sit on the dogs back while eating a bowl of cereal and she would just sit there looking adoringly at her. five months passed and sophia the st bernard had put on 28 kg. she now weighed 68 kg and was happy healthy and loving life maybe for the first time. but her weight gain took a long time and kept fluctuating . we took her for her eye operation which went well and was a sucess. Then shortly after sophia the dog went off her food. she would not eat a thing...

Review of St Bernard

ST. BERNARD (and no bones about it)

Advantages: flippin' luvverly
Disadvantages: none

...Contrary to what you might think - because of the name, and the fact that all their labels have an image of a jolly, red-cheeked monk smiling out from them - Brouwerij Sint Bernardus is in fact a secular brewery. It does have connections with the monastic order though. It was granted a license by the monks at Westvleteren to brew beer in 1946 under the name St. Sixtus. However, other breweries soon sought to claim links (often very spurious) with the Trappist order and because of the confusion, the license was revoked. In fact this is what ultimately led to the Trappist appellation being set up. Sint Bernardus continued on their own and now make a range of Abbey beers from their base in the West Flanders town of Watou and the one I'm reviewing today is a dubbel called Prior 8. http://www.sintbernardus.be/ Speaking...

Stop at this Pass between Italy and switzerland

Advantages: A way over the top of the Alps
Disadvantages: none

...When we were on holiday in Italy we were not very far away from the borders with Switzerland. We were near the grand St Bernard's pass, so one day we had to visit and pop into Switzerland just to look and say we had been there really. There is also a petit Saint Bernard's pass this is between France and Italy This pass in the ALPS between Switzerland and Italy had been used for many years since before 800 BC. Tribe's people and traders used this pass to take their wares for sale and Armies used this pass for their troops.

Review of Bernard Matthew's Mini Kiev's

ST Tropez Autobronzant

Advantages: Nice even colour, can see where it has been applied already
Disadvantages: Messy and expensive

...*Introduction* The St Tropez autobronzant is a thick lotion which you apply on your face and body, and then leave to absorb for 4 hours before washing off to reveal your tan. It promises to be 'non-greasy' and 'quick drying' with a 'relaxing aromatic scent'. It comes in one shade only, but you can reapply two nights in a row to deepen the tan. I have really pale skin that doesn't tan at all naturally, so I have to be careful what fake tan I use as I can be left with orange coloured skin! *Packaging and Price* The packaging is quite simple and whereas most fake tanning products come in a brown or orange bottle, it is distinctive as it comes in a white bottle with black writing. When buying, look carefully at the bottle to check you have the right product though as the St Tropez body polish comes in a very similar bottle...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Meet me in St Louis

Advantages: Magnificent skyline. Lots to do and see. Wonderful music heritage.
Disadvantages: A number of attractions not wheelchair accessible

...We first approached St Louis at twilight and were immediately charmed by the unusual skylight dominated by The Gateway Arch which was bathed in a warm amber glow. We had driven down from Chicago along Route 66 and were pretty tired so we has little time or energy to explore ? St Louis would have to wait until daylight. ~~What?s in a name~~ First faux-pas of our trip! My pronunciation of St Louis was as in the title of the Judy Garland film and song. Wrong! A local born and bred in St Louis soon corrected me. The English pronunciation is lu-is. Lu-ee is the French pronunciation little used within the city. St Louis is named after King Louis IX of France ? the only French king that was made into a saint. The city was founded by French explorers, Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette in 1673. Saint Louis is often known as the Gateway City...

Review of St. Louis

Bernard Cornwell's Harlequin brings the middle ages to life

Advantages: there are two more books! If you like Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe you will love this.
Disadvantages: the excess use of Saints, the complicated vocabulary

...The first book in Bernard Cornwell's Grail Quest, with Thomas of Hookton replacing Richard Sharpe as the hero, is magical. In my opinion Cornwell is the one of, if not the best writers of historical fiction out there and he has excelled himself with this book. His portrayal of England and France in the 1300s (the run up to the Battle of Crecy) is such that you actually feel you are there but it is his characters which show him for the master that he undoubtably is. Thomas just wants his bow and his women and this is something which not change throughout the novel as we see him change from sallow youth lucky to kill several of those who have pillaged his village into a fully fledged longbow man, a true master of the medieval battlefield. Cornwell's overall grasp of medieval life is stunning with everyone from the Kings...

Review of Harlequin - Bernard Cornwell

A St Tropez Tan

Advantages: Excellent colour, easy to see where applying as it is coloured
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...This product has got to be one of the most convincing fake tans I have ever found. Last year, being a very pale shade with the task of being a bridesmaid for one of my mates, I decided that I didn't want my pale skin to clash with the pale dress I had to wear!! So off to a salon to have the St Tropez professional tanning treatment. I was amazed! I emerged from the salon with a decent tan (as it is coloured you can see the effects immediately). The tan developed and I was left looking as though I had been on holiday. It lasted for nearly 2 weeks. A real confidence boost for the vain people amongst us!! After seeing how the professionals do it, I now do it myself!!! It is much better to mix half and half with moisturiser. If you go wrong you just apply another thin coat. You wash the excess off about 4-5 hours later and you...
