      🌟🌟🌟Recent market events have catapulted Gold into the spotlight as a traditional safe haven asset.  With geopolitical tensions, widening US Trade deficits and signs of pressure in the Global bond markets, investors are flocking into Gold as a hedge against uncertainty.  In April Gold surged past the USD 3500 per ounce level, a level that once seemed out of reach, as catalysts such as political controversies such as Trump's Trade Tariffs amplify investors fears.

      The Dragon Boat Festival and The Sweet Legacy of Zhongzi

      🌟🌟🌟Every year as the rhythmic splashing of Dragon Boats echoes along winding rivers, the Dragon Boat Festival comes alive.  It is a vibrant celebration steeped in history, remembrance and the enduring human spirit. At the heart of this festival lies a tradition that has transcended time - the artful crafting of Zhongzi, the dumpling whose origins are shrouded in legend and cultural resilience. Born out of both sorrow and hope for national salvation, Zhongzi was once a tribute to a misunderstood poet and patriot Qu Yuan, whose sacrifice has imbued every sticky grain with a deeper meaning.  It is within this spirited context that Sweet Zhongzi shines, offering a gentle embrace to those who savour not only flavour but heartfelt tradition.  For generations, the act of making and
