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 […]
Faux tan mishap!! And Devon days n sneaky peeks!
So this week just before I went on TV, I had a fake tan mistake, which could only be rectified by rubbing it in some more. Talk about Goldfinger! Serve me right for wearing a pair of shorts! I probably could’ve got away with slightly white legs, but instead by attempting to make them look […]
Look at me Chard! Benefits of balconies in the sunshine! And sneaky peeks…
Goodness me my vegetables have shot up this week, with all the sunshine. The little trough my daughter bought me for my birthday, has quite a deep triangular shape so I think the plants like it a lot! Goodness, wasn’t it hot this week! I went to get the kids on Wednesday and Thursday, and […]
Chessington, lunches and fab theatre!
Another “Debbie week,” with loads of stuff going on! Back in the swing of things LOL. Had the most lovely day at Chessington world of adventures near Epsom, with Lauren and her family. From an aquarium tunnel in the sea life centre, and animals galore, to ride after ride (okay mostly kids rides but needs […]
Week Away pt 2: West Wales
Part one of my holiday, which you may have read about last week, was at the yoga retreat in Somerset. And I went straight from there to do an event at my place in Devon, see below. Followed by a trip to Wales. Had two nights in lollipop’s lovely Cabin. We went to the beach, […]
Happy place, yoga retreat in Somerset! Family fun, and sneaky peeks!
I love Amchara, the health retreat in Somerset where I have come every year since 2022 when I spent three weeks here and had a bit of an epiphany. Decided to come last minute on Sunday, so my visit was Monday to Friday this time. Juice fasting, yoga, swimming, really good sleeping 🙂 and the […]
The longest 6 weeks are over! And sneaky peeks
But first, just to get it out of the way, it’s over! Hallelujah! Hope you had a great week! I made these scones down in Devon! I had a retreat for nine people with Marnie who does Memoirs, in the sixth week. The sixth week of a long campaign where I worked hours and hours […]
A publishing seminar by the Thames & sneaky peeks!
Lovely to take two days out of my busy schedule and different this week. The self publishing formula, self publishing show 2024, in London with my lovely friend Carolyn with whom I’ve been going to writing workshops since 2009! She’s successfully self published several novels, the main ones are a detective series, all on Amazon. […]
