Given how it was a lovely day last Sunday – in between the showers, Mum and I went down the road in Banstead to my niece Becky‘s allotment. I used to live just opposite there and always wanted one, and now she’s got one I said I’d go down and help. It was lovely actually, […]
Weddings, Ryan Gosling and sneaky peeks…!
What a week. I know I say that all the time, but Friday was a smashing day, remember what the weather was like? Well that’s the day that my niece Stephanie got married to her new hubby Alex in the beautiful surroundings of Denbies Vineyard and Hotel in Dorking near where I used to live. […]
Beautiful skies and sneaky peeks!
Another enjoyable week down in Devon running a retreat for six super people, very grateful to be at my writing retreat and relaxing. I’m quite getting into cooking the different meals but I do still stick to a small repertoire that I know well! I made a lovely soup and my friend Jennie came to […]
Center Parcs for early bd treat! And sneaky peeks…
My goodness we had some experiences this week at Center Parcs! My birthday is today (the 10th). So I went for my annual trip with my lovely daughter and her wonderful family. And the weather did us proud! We went to Longleat Safari Park and adventure areas for kids, which took up most of Wednesday. […]
The Future’s Orange! Plus 7 days of sneaky QVC peeks
Oh my gosh I think this might be one of my favourite theatre productions. Not quite as good as, but almost on a par with, Mrs Doubtfire. Accidentally ended up wearing the same jacket as my friend Andie, (SHE of 21 Denim & Co jackets fame, item 177300). My fault because I told her I’d […]
Nostalgia fest with friends of 50 years! And a week’s sneaky QVC peeks!
Had another lovely catch up with my school friends Sharon and Dawn this week, and my goodness me, did I enjoy it! Denise has squirreled away tons of pictures from when we were all at Willows High School in Morden in Surrey together in the mid to late 70s! Yes really that long ago. We’ve […]
A fabulous group in Devon, and a sneaky bit of wonderful weather
Had such a lovely time this week in Devon, even though it was somewhat problematic! (On some levels anyway. Go below to my vlog, where there is a link to my regular weekly Facebook live, #thursdaybantz, for more about that!) The weather took a turn for the better on a couple of other days at […]
Spring walks, flashback to 1976, and sneaky peeks!
It was so glad to get some lovely sunshine in the bluebell woods near me this week, I always love going on the long walk where I see carving like this one. Very decorative! See vlog below for more. Mind you it was still quite cold. See below for when I had to show some […]
Massive Easter weekend, REELS! And seven days of sneaky peeks
Had a very very very very busy week last week! I know my weeks are usually packed but this one was off the scale. With very little time for me-time apart from short trips round the fields when I was with my daughter in Wales! So Lauren came down on Friday for the hen do […]
Piccadilly Radio reunion; lake district; and sneaky peeks!
It’s been two years in the making, but finally the 50th anniversary get-together was here, thanks to the lovely Liz Bracken, a lady I used to work with years ago at Piccadilly radio, as was (now Key103) in Manchester. I was there about 40 years ago and it was people from the first 10 years […]
