Had my first really long walk for ages this week, and whilst we were out, sister Linda and I met a lovely local lady called Tina! Gosh that lady is dressed head to foot in QVC fashions it looks like, I thought, as she came into view. Then when she got near us she said […]
Aspects of “Barbenheimer” / Film Fest! Kate Bush fun; & sneaky QVC peeks….
Saw three big things this week. ‘Aspects of Love’ at the theatre with my mum and sister, and the two blockbusters that are breaking records at the cinema, Barbie and Oppenheimer. Absolutely loved Ryan Gosling in Barbie. Found it very entertaining and superbly tongue in cheek, loved what they did with the juxtaposition between real […]
The girls came back! And sneaky peeks :-)
It may have only been a flying visit, but it was lovely to see Lara and Izzy over from Sweden for a week. Went to dinner with mum and had a lovely time. They are so grown-up now. How small they used to be 🙂 and now Isabella is taller than mum! How time flies! […]
Super Siblings and Sneaky Peeks
Brother Glen and his wife Boki arrived back from Sweden for a flying visit, literally, and to go to the Bruce Springsteen concert, for the second time in a week! We had a little get-together outside my sister’s on a balmy day with a beautiful breeze. Brother-in-law Dave did a barbecue, mum and her partner […]
Indiana Jones we love you!
How could I resist? When my great friend and ex sister-in-law Allison says she wanted to go and see it and wished she had come with me when I went last week, I thought, you know what I’m going to see it again at some stage, so I might as well see it now! So […]
Groundhog Day – in a good way! Hols and sneaky peeks!
A super night out with my wonderful son Brad. We went to see Groundhog Day the Musical, based on one of my favourite films ever(!) at the Old Vic. Highly recommended! See ‘watch’ below. Plus another big event that I put on this week, more in Snippets below… And of course my weekend at Center […]
Coming up roses! And sneaky peeks
Since I’ve been away so much I thought I had better spend some time with my lovely mum who had looked after the “Bed on the Bend”, and balcony, so much when I was away, so we went to tend dad’s grave then for lunch. It’s all doing very well especially considering how much drought […]
Sunset Surprises and sneaky peeks…
I had a really nice week in Devon, obviously the weather was boiling. But the memoirs group I was looking after at my writing retreat were an absolute dream. Marnie the tutor was wonderful, and Jennie joined in too, my yoga friend, to take part in the memoirs workshops. We also had some lovely sunset […]
French hols & sneaky peeks!
Was back down by the Dordogne this week in what has become an annual visit to the most amazing venue run by my two lovely friends Mickey and Janie Wilson, in a super townhouse with a pool near the picturesque Dordogne river, Chez Castillon. For those who don’t know, it’s a bit like my Devon […]
Bye-bye lovely Ali Keenan, retiring after 23 years!
Oh well, how sad for this week as Ali Keenan had her last show on QVC and is now retired. 23 years at QVC, goodness me. She joined just as I left the first time round, so it was funny watching Ali, remembering my own farewell show & how different my life became after that. […]
