An ode to my FT

An ode to my FT

For any of my readers who have been following me on my blog over any length of time, you know that I often spend my Saturday mornings reading my one week old Weekend FT (it arrives on the Monday after the weekend and I don’t have time to savour it till the following weekend). So, here is an ode to my darling FT;

What else would combine my love of high finance with my other loves of Life & Arts (insert) and House & Home (another insert) with the additional luxuries of FT Magazine and "How to Spend It" thrown in. In the harsh hyper-real environment of Lagos, Nigeria, you need all the luxury you can get to take you away from the harsh realities of the working week.

I love the off-beat columns such as Harry Eyres column on the Brockwell Lido and the volunteer community of London, a totally different world from the one I am currently in. I love the variety of cultural offerings – food, wine, restaurants, architecture, drama, theatre, books, films, music, all the offerings one needs to feed their soul.

I’ll continue to read the FT for as long as it has a grip on me. I’ll pass it onto my kids to read it as well. It’s currently my lifeline to the greater world of which I am happy to belong and I truly appreciate the wide variety of skill and talent that goes into putting the FT together week after week. Well done FT, keep up the good work.
