Been busy socialising this week, (amidst masses of online minutes, sorting out leaflets and people to deliver them in Devon!) Following on from last week, the rest of the weekend retreat went really well, and I ended up having a first: the group got on so well, they took themselves off to the beach together, […]
Time in France with the new Rory and Co!
France continued… Guess what happened last week! We fell in love with the new puppy who is only about six months old. If that. They got him as a rescue this year and he’s very intelligent. Doesn’t quite know everybody yet, so can be shy especially with experiences he obviously anchors into something from his […]
French Stick Heaven! Off on hols. And 7 days’ Sneaky peeks
Can’t tell you how much I was looking forward to the break this week on a proper holiday nr Bordeaux in France. Regulars will know I go here every year and I see all my writing friends. Lovely weather, great food, excellent company, and I am relaxed by about halfway through the second day. Such […]
Chillaxing at the allotment. And sneaky peeks!
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 […]
