Italian engines and Morrocan Mezzes!

On Tuesday we joined forces with the BRDC and set up camp at the home of British motorsport for the Ferrari California Experience at Silverstone once again!

Following on from last years fun-filled inaugral event, we took 50 of the nations most deserving children and chauffered them around the circuit in a Ferrari California with the help of the BTCC champ Jason Plato,  the BRDC,  and Pink Floyd drummer and long term Ferrari fanboy Nick Mason. Each of the children were nominated by The Variety Club and BEN, the automotive charity. Our pals from Disney and Hot Wheels also joined in with the fun by keeping everyone fully entertained on the day!
Other car-mad celebs lending their support on the day included the newly crowned Miss England Alize Lily Mounter, Dancing on Ice runner up Donal MacIntyre and Wheeler Dealer and host for the day Mike Brewer.
As if all of that wasn’t enough, as they left the track,each of the kids were also given  a unique souvenir, a USB stick with footage from their own personal ride so that they can relive their Ferrari California Experience forever!
After going Italian for the day we swam south of the Mediterranen on Wednesday, to celebrate the 25th Aniversary of our favourite Soho shisha-spot Maison Touareg. 
To brush you up on your trivia , Maison Touareg was one of the first restaurants/bars in London to have a 3am license. It’s wasn’t any surprise after last night’s party, which boasted belly dancers, snake charmers and of course, the very best Moroccan and Lebanese food.
After the incense, cocktails and North African beats all of us here at JW woke up this morning wishing it was Saturday!

July's JW event frenzy!

July may be turning into a coat on, coat off month but we are too excited about the JW events taking place this month to care about having no idea what to wear in the mornings!

Our Ferrari charity day at Silverstone is stepping up a gear with the likes of Disney coming on board!
On Tuesday 26th July 2011, Ferrari North Europe, in partnership with the British Racing Drivers’ Club, will be hosting the Ferrari California Experience charity event at Silverstone Circuit.
Following last year’s extremely successful inaugural event, celebrity and professional drivers, together with a number of BRDC ‘SuperStars’ - young stars of the future who are receiving guidance and training from the BRDC, will once again drive 50 of the nation’s most deserving children nominated by The Variety Club and BEN, the automotive industry benevolent fund, around the famous track in a Ferrari California.
From trackside to the very glamourous 25th anniversary of the delicious Maison Touareg in Soho. The Moroccan & Lebanese themed restaurant is going to be celebrating in style on the 27th July and we just can't wait!

What interesting events have you folks got coming up in July that you want to shout about? We love hearing about them all!

WHAT A WEEKEND FOR THE SUNSHINE!

It’s all over the papers today that Prince Harry allegedly chatted up new girlfriend Florence Brudenell-Bruce (AKA Flee) with a line about polo. What a coincidence then that we have been invited to attend the polo this weekend at Newbury!! Dressing up, mixing with Royalty and celebs alike and enjoying some delicious molecular gastronomy from the increasingly popular and always inventive Bubble Food - what more could we ask for?


Festival season is well and truly upon us and we are all caught up in the fever. A little closer to London town than the fields of Glastonbury, Hard Rock Calling last weekend was utterly brilliant, with performances from The Killers, Bon Jovi and Rod Stewart! Following on at Hyde Park last night were the likes of Arcade Fire and Mumford and Sons who proved to be epic and have been causing a stir all over Twitter.



It’s not just music festivals that are making waves though. As we enter July the upcoming Foodies Festival in Battersea Park (July 29, 30, 31) is also something to get excited about. Being die hard foodies ourselves, we aren’t ashamed to say that we are counting down the days – Michelin Star chefs – Yum!!



Enjoy the sunshine folks!
