THE PHEASANT
This place setting has a more classic feel; I love the striking shape of the place mat from Fiona Finds set against the House of Hackney tablecloth. The embroidered-pheasant napkins are from Bonadea and the plates are from Bernardaud at Harrods. I love using ribbons: the Kensington Paperie is a good source and also sells amazing wrapping paper.
The PARROT
This is a softer alternative to red and green. I've mixed a pair of pink parrots from Fiona Finds with vintage pieces and highstreet finds, set against a magnificent tablecloth in Salvesen Graham's Floral Trail fabric. The napkins are tied with gingerbread reindeer looped through ribbons from the Embroidered Napkin Company and the antique candlesticks are from Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler.

My heart is in the Highlands
A LISTAIR MOFFATâS many books on Scottish history are distinctive for the way he weaves poetry and literature, language and personal experience into broad-sweeping studies of particular regions or themes. In his latestâ and among his most ambitious in scopeâhe juxtaposes a passage from MacMhaighstir Alasdairâs great sea poem Birlinn Chlann Raghnaill with his own account of filming a replica birlinn (Hebridean galley) as it glides into the Sound of Mull, âlarch strakes swept up to a high prowâ, saffron sail billowing, water sparkling as its oars dip and splash. Familiar from medieval tomb carvings, the birlinn is a potent symbol of the power of the Lords of the Isles.
