The presenter of TV’s How to Look Good Naked, Gok, has been spotted in Brighton, UK, buying chocolate. He bought bars of chocolate made by a new independent chocolatier, Chocoholly (www.chocoholly.com). Holly, founder of Chocoholly, says: ‘ I feel honoured that this fashion guru loves my chilli and coconut chocolate.’

The Trevor Man baby unit which is just about to open after many years in the planning and a lot of help from the rocking horse appeal, has purchased my work. Its a great honour for me and I hope the nurses and babies alike are uplifted by the paintings.

Hello! i’m india james, and this week i have been playing Holly’s apprentise, and must say i find the whole process of turning the basic raw ingridents into the delicous and indervidual flavours that you buy in the shops a very interesting one indeed! I could never have imagened how much detail goes into producing the chocolate and making it all so tasty and attractive. Holly is possibley the nicest employer i could have asked for, and managed to be extremely warm whilst also really making it clear what i had too do, so i wasnt a confused nervous wreck! I was intrested in the art of being a choclatier before i came, and am even more so now i have spent some time with holly and realised that it IS possible to handle the buissness side of everything whilst also very much keeping the creativity and passion alive, that attracted you to the art in the first place. Im very honoured to be Holly’s Ompa-Lumpa for the week, and am greatful for all the tips and secrets she has already taught me this week and look forward to hearing more! =)

We have had a brilliant timeat this years openhouse on Brunswick terrace. Some days we have had over 500 people coming in. My tiger princess paintings have been much admired and the sales are healthy too. The princess with the cocoa tree (which was my favorite) sold last weekend, luckily I have prints of it though. We have a delicious array of handmade cakes as well as designer jewellery, garden sculpture, marble sculpture, aromatherapy face oils, vintage cushions, photos and Brighton mugs. Hope to see you on the weekend.
