Sailing through Icelandic mist, we swapped hot springs for hot saunas—and ended our day with an indulgent dinner starring Beef Wellington, truffles, and caviar clouds.
A night of toolkits, torches, and ten tantalising courses – the Chef’s Table turned fine dining into theatre, with wagyu cigars, disappearing candy floss, and a wine for every moment.

We headed into the heart of the Outer Hebrides, sampling whisky, buying tweed, and bracing for some big waves. From island stories to open-mouthed sniff tests, today had plenty to smile (and sway) about.
From fairy-tale castles to floating towel monkeys, my birthday in Scotland was packed with surprises, history, and one seriously epic chocolate mousse. Little Jimmy lived like royalty today.
