I don't covet many things, but the Rocket Espresso Giotto Evoluzione classic Italian style coffee machine currently tops my list. Read why in my article for the Sunday Telegraph supplement.

I spend my life reviewing gadgets, but sometimes it is fascinating to get the opinion of every day folk who don't know their Ice Cream Sandwiches from Gingerbread! So for the Sept/Oct 2011 issue of Tesco Magazine I talked to two self proclaimed technophobes about their experiences with a Kindle and the iPad 2. 

Pick up a copy of the Feb 2012 issue of Grand Designs and you'll find a meaty feature from me called 'Small projects, big benefits.' As a technology geek in a world of bricks, mortar (and the odd cushion) I love seeing just what can be done with poorly used space, a spare corner of the garden...or for that matter a bucket load of cash, and architect and a childlike imagination.
