Had my usual trip away to conference this week, a tough time currently but took the enjoyment where it came, which was in the form of catching up with friends. Firstly, Pru and Helen and I had the most fabulous dinner at a place called Iguanas in Birmingham Broadstreet area. So nice to have a […]
Hunting Fossils with Gill! Plus Devon, and sneaky peeks at QVC deals
So off we went a-fossil-hunting! Ever since I was 12 years old and went on a field trip with the school to Lyme Regis in Dorset, I have wanted to return. And finally my lovely friend made it possible by booking us a weekend away. We had a great tour with a guide called Richard, […]
Back to blog! Hectic weeks away and Molton Brown ahoy!
Oh my goodness what a lovely time I have had recently, including in the writing retreat in France. Six days and nights all to myself with role reversal compared to what I normally do in Devon! A lovely group of writers, and the most gorgeous place including a fabulous pool. I took the top picture […]
No big blog this week
I’m sure everybody will understand that there is no lengthy blog this week. QVC programming is also being altered accordingly because of the period of mourning following the passing of our wonderful Queen. I’m away in France on a writing holiday and we will all be watching the funeral on Monday. I promise I will […]
A Day with Blake, Dysonned, and Sneaky QVC Peeks!
First, I was very impressed with the way the Dyson Corrale straightener/curler did my hair last weekend! What an amazing saving, and a brilliant beauty tool. This was such a nice picture I thought I’d send it to you this week 🙂 It’s quite trendy now to do the little straight bits at the ends, […]
Tourist Time! Plus sneaky QVC peeks and a special Dyson deal!
Not only did I have a lovely time with my one-year-old grandson last weekend at his little party, I also had another super touristy day out with my friend Gill. And tonight, Friday the second, I launch one of the best Dyson deals we’ve ever done! See below. Meanwhile, where did September come from?! It […]
I went out out! Guess what I did?
Well, I was spoilt this week. Not only did I go out to my niece’s birthday party, but I also went to an event I helped to organise in Redhill. The pub “Home Cottage” just opposite the station and it’s a pretty good venue. 40 youngsters turned up (okay some oldsters in there as well) […]
Sunny Somerset, sweltering Fulham, and bon voyage Bruvva
So this week after my whistlestop trip home, I was back at Amchara, The health retreat I booked a long stay at as a treat for my 60th, in case you missed earlier blogs! I was lucky enough that the weather was pretty good most days. So fortunate to be able to spend half an hour, nearly every day, in the pool. The water is always around 30° so once I’ve got used to it, it is heaven. So was some of the food, see below. But considering I’m into my third week there now, in total, I needed a change of scenery.
Venturing out – and First Look QVC Deals
Thank you for checking in on this blog – transferred to this website because all QVC presenter blogs are on a little hiatus for the summer.
If you missed the previous ones, I am now on a long summer holiday at a health retreat in Somerset. It involves being here most of the time, doing exercise and treatments and swimming and eating healthily and getting fully involved in the whole Chillaxing thing! I popped out last week to go to Okehampton and the cinema, and I did the same again this week! See below. Getting a little bit more back to normal, I took a trip out in the car to explore a little, and found a charming little village called Wiveliscombe. And found a friend – look what was on top of the postbox just outside the old courthouse. (See it in the top pic). I had a little wander and tried to buy some healthy snacks! Then I did a little vlog from there, go here to see it.
Xmas in July! Jody Comer, and sneaky QVC peeks…
Oh my goodness look at this mock up of one of my favourite Christmassy films ever. I said Christmassy, not Christmas. Well if diehard can be included why not this! And obviously I would have preferred not to have the cigarette in the shot but anyway… Yes Bridget Jones diary has a big Christmas scene or two, So that is good enough for me, and my favourite film ever, one of the top five anyway. What’s yours? Colin Firth in this film, is my top romantic hero in any film ever.
How lovely that Qvc behind-the-scenes people managed to mock up these film posters – all in aid of our Christmas in July weekend, which starts on Friday the 22nd at 9 pm and across the weekend (that’s “tonight “if you’re reading this on time!
