Quote of the week

Bucharest on the potentially perilous pitfalls of pregnancy: "You get so used to grown men whose first names you don't know shuftying about up your nethers that you have to chant to yourself, like a mantra, in the dentist's waiting room, "Don't take your pants off, it's just teeth this time."

Recipe of the week

Porpoise's red berry pavlova: lashings of strawberries and cream for Wimbledon finals weekend - with the ace addition of a crunchy, chewy meringue base. Serve with panache and await a grateful chorus of, "Ooh, I say!"
