[caption id="attachment_1770" align="alignright" width="250"] The Easyglider has headlights and even an iPod dock![/caption] Every now and again someone comes up with a rather madcap product idea. Sometimes they sink without trace after the fanfare launch (err...Sinclair C5 anyone?), sometimes there just isn't room for all of them (Betamax vs VHS, then) but other times these ever-so-slightly eccentric inventions actually catch on and we're wondering just what the world thinks of the Easyglider! The Easyglider is a very simple, efficient and funky personal transporter dreamt up by a Swiss designer who wanted an easy and ecologically sound way to get around...

[caption id="attachment_1763" align="alignright" width="250"] If chocolate be the food of love, then eat on...(apologies to Shakespeare)[/caption] Whilst pottering through our local town centre the other day, we spotted some rather cute looking mini-heart chocolate boxes in the shop window of our fave chocolatier, so we popped in. We decided a little cream heart-shaped box filled with handmade (and handpicked) scrummy choc was the ideal (if slightly girly)mini-gift for the BF for Valentine's Day...but it did get us thinking.

After writing for Into the Blue about the new Sunseekeer Taster powerboat experience setting off from Southampton, we've just done an inspired search on YouTube for Howard's Way - the BBC's supersoap which ran from 1985 to 1990 and was based around the world of posh cruisers and powerboats in the fictional town of Tarrant on the south coast of England.

[caption id="attachment_1692" align="alignright" width="250"] Ahhhh we *heart* St Valentine's Day![/caption] Is it just us, or are you too only just getting over the whole Christmas and New Year thing, to realise that St Valentine's Day is already nearly upon us? We can't cope with all these festivities, so despite the fact that we promised our nearest and dearest we'd put pen to paper to create some romantic sonnets (he's French you see and they like that sort of thing!) we just haven't got time! So what's a girl to do? Whip the old credit card out and buy an activity...
