Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is an English interior designer and television personality best known for his appearances on the BBC television programme "Changing Rooms". He is noted for his flamboyant personality and for affecting a dandyish appearance.
Educated at Alleyn's School in Dulwich, Laurence graduated from the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts in 1986 with a Fine Art degree. He subsequently worked for the Harefield Group of Companies and the interior design firm Peter Leonard Associates. In 1989 he started his own design consultancy. His wife Jackie, an author, had heard through her agent that a production company was searching for a designer and in 1996 he appeared on the first episode of Changing Rooms. He and his wife have two daughters Cecile (born 1995) and Hermione (born 1998).
He has also presented a three-part BBC special Taste (2002), about the history of interior design, and in autumn 2005 he began presenting the weekly BBC1 travel show "Holiday" (2006).
He has also made a guest appearance on Changing Rooms's American counterpart, Trading Spaces.
Jackie Llewelyn-Bowen has opened a shop in Port Isaac, Cornwall, selling a quirky range of giftware, things for the home, accessories including exclusively designed t-shirts and even equipment for creating your own "posh picnic".
Called "Charmed in Cornwall", Jackie decided to open the shop in the village she calls "home", to fulfill a long-held ambition.
To view the selection, visit "Charmed" at:
44a Fore Street, Port Isaac, Cornwall or the website at: www.charmedincornwall.com

What longing I have. It is to sleep a sleep so sweet that I will know life again. To wind up and out of my mind in deepest night prolongs that agony of blissful repose so that on morrow I will loose upon the world my dread in leaving unrested and unfed.

(since I'm still awake at 3:30 in the morning, I thought I'd drop by to say hello!)
I've started up a MySpace page for the fantastic charity MERU that LAURENCE LLEWELYN BOWEN is patron of and I'd like to ask you for your opinion on it, to help MERU make the most of its page. http://myspace.com/medicalengineering
Most importantly we want to meet people we can help. MERU custom-makes highly specialised equipment for children and young people with disabilities. So if you know anyone we might be able to help please direct them to our website www.meru.org.uk
MERU also needs people who can help us make our life-changing equipment. Potential volunteers would need to be able to get to Carshalton and have some spare time, but as this would only apply to a tiny percentage of the people on MySpace, I'm trying to work out the best way to find them.
Finally, the process of designing a complicated piece of Assistive Technology, and then making it for just one person, is actually prohibitively expensive. So the last group of people I need to reach are people who can help us raise funds and awareness. However it's this activity I'm most unsure about. MySpace is about people, so this is where I'd most like your opinion on how you feel this network should or shouldn’t be used and how best to go about it.
Do you think people would be interested in hearing about events or benefit gigs that are taking place? Or finding musicians to take part in them? Or what about slightly more direct requests such as raffle tickets, eBay auctions, sponsored events or even entering a duck in next year’s Great British Duck Race?
I really do want to know what you think. MERU is a really brilliant charity, so please show your support by becoming our “Friend”.
