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 […]
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 […]
