The House of Cream is a unique online interior shop, with stunning soft furnishing, accessories and giftware for the home in all shades of cream and cream fusion.
The House of Cream is the brainchild of Nic and Gary Worthington, both professionals in furnishings and design, whose passion is home interiors in warm shades of cream and light pastels.
Nic and Gary have both spent years visiting a multitude of outlets and websites to source items to furnish their home, and soon came to realise that a ‘one stop shop’ was urgently needed for like-minded people, who desired soothing shades of cream as their central interior expression.
As Creative Buyer for The House of Cream, Nic travels far and wide to source the very best in quality and design, and so they offer top drawer products at bottom line prices.
Each item beautifully fits within the theme of cream to be able to achieve interior design perfection. Cream and its’ hues of ivory, champagne, gold and ecru are always warm, welcoming, and stylish when used within the home. To compliment these shades, they also offer a range of colours – aptly named ‘Cream Fusion’.
A Word From Gary and Nic:
The House of Cream launched its E-commerce site on February 24th, 2017 and features a wide range of soft furnishings, home accessories and giftware. Since opening, we have built a wonderful client base of people looking to establish a cream theme to complete their vision. At the House of Cream, we want you to be able to browse at your leisure and mix and match items from our different room locations to create the look that fits your style.

As Glotime.tv moves into Pinewood Studios we are celebrating 80 years of History with the legendary studio with its long list of credits and locations for iconic movies and television productions.
Pinewood Studios was built on the estate of Heatherden Hall, which was a large Victorian house. It was purchased by Canadian financier and MP for Brentford and Chiswick Lt. Col. Grant Morden, who built a ballroom, a Turkish bath and an indoor squash court. Due to its location, it was used as a discreet meeting place for high-ranking politicians and diplomats and the agreement to create the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed there.
Rumour has it that Morden’s affluent family travelled extensively in the tropics and all over Europe bringing back tropical plants and scrubs unfamiliar to the UK, many of which have survived in its gardens.
On Morden’s death in 1934, building tycoon Charles Boot bought the land and turned it into a country club. The ballroom was converted into a restaurant and many of the bedrooms became furnished suites.
In 1935, millionaire Methodist and flour magnate J. Arthur Rank created a partnership with Boot and together transformed the estate into a film studio. Boot based designs for the studio on film studios in Hollywood, California. Boot named the new studio Pinewood because “of the number of trees which grow there and because it seemed to suggest something of the American film centre in its second syllable”. In December of that year construction began, with a new stage completed every three weeks. The studios were finished nine months later, having cost £1 million (approx. £42 million at today’s prices).
Five stages were initially completed and a provision for an enclosed water tank capable of holding 65,000 gallons, which is still in use.
It is of course home to the iconic film series JAMES BOND and so many exciting film and television productions ranging from Alien to Space 1999 have been produced at the Studios.
Like any other historic landmark Pinewood Studios has seen both good and leaner times, but is returning to its glory days again as more and more movies and television productions are again being made on its premises.
At Glotime.tv we are feeling its strength as we work in an inspiring environment, alongside new production companies and creatives and are growing our own heritage in a legendary setting, with like-minded companies and individuals.
Pinewood pays homage to all the greats who have performed or produced within its walls including the legendary John Mills, Dickie Attenborough, Michael Caine, Sean Connery and of course Sylvia Anderson, who was a Producer at Pinewood over four decades, and a pioneer for women in television.

More than a hundred years ago, caravanning was a popular past time of the ‘idle rich’ (mainly men), as a retreat from their gentility to explore the countryside and have fun with their friends – years before Heidi-hi or the less heeled holiday makers made it popular. It also has the heritage of the Hollywood movie star retreat retiring to their caravan on set, which was a favourite place to relax between takes and where a lot of pampering took place.
So it does make sense that caravanning is returning to its roots with its rich and famous clientele making a comeback with the likes of Helen Mirren, Lorraine Kelly and even Will Smith seen holidaying or owning one.
Caravans and Motorhomes are fast becoming the most popular way to holiday as a family break or for the empty nester in search of adventure.
Gone are the days of the overcrowded camp sites and bad amenities, although you can still find a good karaoke or cover band if you want to. Instead we are looking at holiday makers from all walks of life, who are abandoning their five star hotels and hitting the road of discovery in their caravans or motorhomes.
Travelling in a campervan or motorhome can certainly open up a mountain of opportunities, in exploring off the beaten track locations and giving kids the experience of farms and countryside that open their eyes to a multitude of adventures and possibilities.
They get to see where vegetables come from and explore different towns and even countries, with the open road as their compass.
Cooking is a lot easier too and a great deal less expensive than in a hotel or restaurant, and gives you the freedom to cater to everyone’s needs – whether a veggie, suffer from allergies or just enjoy creating new recipes, without having to adhere to restrictive hotel food and timelines.
Caravans and Motorhomes are now fully equipped with heating and highly functioning kitchens and bathrooms, and the majority are completely comfortable and self-sufficient.
It is also the ultimate way to chill, as you gaze up at the stars with your loved ones after a sumptuous meal, glass of wine or a midnight stroll, it will charge your batteries like no other holiday or mini-break and open your mind to discover the great beyond.
Courtesy of the Caravan & Motorhome Club http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/ we have a fantastic prize of a short break/long weekend at the wonderful Hillhead Caravan Park in Brixham, Devon, staying in a state-of-the-art Bailey Caravan.
