What To Wear?!
Last week I did that horrendous job of swapping summer and winter clothes around (my wardrobe struggles to do both at the same time). Then what happens?
Sounds From The Underground
I was on the London Underground on my way to the hairdressers and over the speaker system came ‘a voice’ giving rail information. The man couldn’t speak, he ran his words into each other, spoke too quickly and for the life of me I couldn’t hear a word he said. in fact it was so bad people on the platform were laughing.
Say It With Flowers
I love having flowers in my home. Unless you are an expert arranger the best way to make a beautiful display is to keep to the same flower in the same colour.
A hot 100
To Celebrate 100 dinner parties Corbin and I treated the crew to a BBQ lunch.

Some Things Do Last Forever…
This Dolls House was made for me by my Dad in 1964. It was my Christmas present, it was love at first sight and probably where my passion for moving furniture around and nesting came from. 47 years later it is still being played with and loved.
Feet first
I was making a Banoffee Pie and realised my apartment kitchen didn’t have anything to bash the biscuits with.
Strictly Learning
For years I’ve secretly wanted to know how to Ballroom Dance. I’ve loved watching everyone glide around the room on Dancing With The Stars and Strictly Come Dancing. Last week after looking at the front door of Arthur Murray’s Dance Studio in Toronto I bucked up the courage and went in.
Cooking up trouble
I have just made 4 Banoffee pies for our crew lunch tomorrow…..
Andrea’s Apple & Almond Tart
My friend Andrea, who admittedly is a professional cook made this glorious Apple and Almond tart…and oh my goodness; it was a taste from the heavens.
Get Saucy with HP
I often make Shepherds Pies to freeze as they are so handy if you’ve got people coming and going.
BA Stop Nightmare In New York
My brother in law Gary Webster went on a 2 night business to trip to New York – only to arrive and hit the chaos of Hurricane Irene! He had booked through the British Airways web site, purchasing the flight and hotel as a package.
