Yes, I was away for a day last Sunday, with a flying visit to Birmingham for an event that started too early for me, and I don’t think I’ve caught up yet! Really takes it out of me nowadays, but I went to a one-day conference which at least meant when I was at breakfast (that’s where I am in the Premier Inn in this top picture!) I could surprise Lolly and her kids with a quick FaceTime! They thought I was a mirage…! Anyway it was a good outing and nice to catch up with some mates from my Devon area.
Followed soon after on Tuesday, by a trip to Devon for my writing retreat with a brilliant brilliant scriptwriting tutor called Lucy V Hay. Lovely bunch, as usual, and I took these pictures as a snapshot of the week.

Very busy again, gathering about all over the place as usual, but had some lovely long sleeps in my really comfortable room with the electric blanket… I spent some time in the garden as well. And with my friends, quite a group of them came over this week!

I’ve said to lovely Barbara who used to live in the village when she was a kid, that I’ll help her put together some kind of booklet with all the photos and memories she’s got if she gets it all together in the first place! There’s a challenge! Anyway, lovely to see everybody and so nice to get some good weather. I hope it’s like that when I go to see lollipop at the weekend in Wales!
SNIPPETS

Hotel Chocolat is back!!
Coming soon, I’ve got the hard job of helping to spread the word about the new Hotel Chocolat TSV deal! Coming Monday I believe! Don’t miss it. Find out more here.

Liz Earle too!!
Oooo not long, on this weekend! Don’t miss it! If you love super skin you won’t believe the value! Ps it’s already online just search Liz Earle QVC!

Marla in Green
Well, ‘matcha’! None other than Marla Wynne herself was back this week – how amazing she looked in this origami number. Separate jacket and trousers. So elegant and chic. Loved being on with her, she knows so much and is really funny! Sometimes it’s not like work at all…
Exclusive – on this week’s newsletter (sign up to get yours in the inbox every weekend), the exclusive content is a naughty little funny! And the unusual site when I went to visit Alix this week!
Watch – well everyone’s talking about it, and even Tony Blackburn posted about it this week. And my scriptwriting tutor, Lucy, said it’s possibly the best thing she’s seen in years and years. It’s Adolescence on Netflix. Can’t wait to watch it.

Funny – just a little laugh for you LOL!

Vlog – this week #Thursdaybantz was live from my dining room! Gosh I look knackered! LOL (See it here).
Book of the Week – I can’t help it, I can’t help it! It’s the next Scarpetta! It carried on as kind of a two part series. So “Scarpetta” was followed by book 17, “The Scarpetta Factor“. Where an impersonator creates trouble for K, the medical examiner, and her cohort. I like how Patricia Cornwell has made it more about the other characters, and they are also cleverly drawn. I really want to spend time with them in my head, and when I’m doing such manual work virtually all day long at the retreat, that’s exactly what I end up doing! Thank goodness for Audible. Highly recommended.
