About the author…
This column is penned under the nom de plume of Mrs. Figgins–alter ego of a renowned author, expert on protocol and arbiter of social conduct known as “etiquette”, the guidelines regarding mannerisms long considered the last word among polite society.
Mrs. Figgins juggles her time between homes in Zürich, Sydney, and Edinburgh and has entertained royalty and world leaders over several decades.
Travel, friendships and humanitarian work around the world have given her a unique opportunity to observe the lives and habits of the rich and powerful, the empty and hopeless…with a front row view into the dance of human relationships.
Mrs. Figgins has three beloved children – two are married, one is gay. All have been in long term relationships and live happily in Switzerland.
A hobby of the heart…
This blog is intended to be a light hearted tête-à-tête with opinion & advice from Mrs. Figgins on relationships and everyday topics.
Mrs. Figgins dispenses straightforward common sense sprinkled with kindness to teens and adults. She is delighted to answer your questions regarding personal relationships, etiquette & everyday topics.
The young and young at heart are invited to join our conversation.
Don’t be shy! Leave your worries on the doorstep, and please join in!
Mrs. Figgins house rule…
“Make it serious or make it fun, but please always
remember your manners when commenting or giving an opinion so that everyone can enjoy.”

“There’s no substitute for good old fashioned common sense, sprinkled with kindness and a little romance along the way.”
Sincerely…
Emma Figgins
