Gotta get a Gatineau – TSV and mummy time!
Had some lovely times this week with family, for instance a Sunday lunch at mum’s club with mum, brother Derek, sister Linda, and Derek‘s little girl Evie who is getting so grown up now! (See top pic). She wants me to learn how to play bowls, maybe one day but not just yet! Imagine me […]
Phoebe turns 6! And your weekly QVC sneaky peeks!
My lovely little Phoebe was six on Thursday, and this was the amazing Moana cake that Nick made and Lauren helped with, and it was so delicious, I can’t tell you! See below. How time flies, I know it’s a cliche but it really does. So I don’t need much excuse to go see my […]
Film Fest n Family Fun!
Another packed week but then they always are, including going to the cinema (see the top picture, then read my film recommendations below). Went to see the kids after returning from Devon. Blake now plays netball which was really good fun to watch albeit very frustrating, if you used to play netball, like I did […]
An unexpected history with QVC guest. And sneaky peeks!
Every so often a little reminder crops up for the shared history from another life. This week Thomas Frake, Masterchef winner, Gastro pub owner, and chef extraordinaire, and I were having a little banter in the kitchen and we discussed our shared history, both working at Bid TV many years ago (a channel that’s now […]
Happy birthday daughter! And seven days of sneaky QVC peeks
So nice to see my lovely girl last weekend. I went to a super evening social in Devon, then an AGM the next morning, then spent Saturday evening and Sunday with lollipop in Wales. Before going back to work on the Sunday through some ridiculous weather! More below. Yes, my girl is 35 and we […]
Coco Loco on Parsons Green with the grandchildren! Bug brands! And sneaky peeks…
My non-stop weeks continued with a babysitting session this week, collecting both of my Fulham grandchildren after their respective summer camp/nursery. We had a nice play, got home and read some books, watched her play her new instrument (see below). First I got Blake and took her to her favourite local Acai juice bar where […]
Crazy trips and famous faces! Plus sneaky peeks!
Crazy crazy times with lots of trips to Devon for leadership hustings I was helping to organise. The top pic shows me and my friend Allison the police and crime commissioner at one of the events. She’s fab. (If you get my newsletter, the exclusive this week is who I think will win)! Also had a […]
Kiddies come to stay! Sneaky peeks, and afternoon tea in November?
Yes, I’m absolutely exhausted. Yes, it was amazing. Yes, I enjoyed seeing them together. Yes, they got on each other’s nerves and bickered – a lot. Yes, it’s hard having your own family under your own roof for too long, but fortunately it was in my big house in Devon for 4 days! Manageable… And […]
Dad would’ve been 85, here’s what we did to commemorate it! And sneaky peeks…
Yes, it’s that time of year again, when my siblings and I went out for our annual supper, marking dad‘s birthday and this year he would’ve been 85! We had a lovely time at a steakhouse in Reigate, only little Glenn didn’t join us, little rat, not making time to come over from Sweden! After […]
