Hi Alison, thank you for your reply. So sorry to hear Alison has been unwell, please pass on our best wishes & a speedy recovery, we will look forward to seeing her when she is well enough & the situation is safe for her. It was one of those times when you just suddenly remember you haven’t seen someone for a while & wonder how/where they are. We all need to stay safe & well at present. Will be watching you both on Sunday, always have a good laugh with Lee & I watch the Tuesday shows most weeks. Hope you & your family stay safe & well, best wishes Tracey x

Hi there Susan, thanks so much for the compliment re: my hair! I have to say it turned out far better than I expected it to, but I think that says more about the original cut then my ability with a pair of nail scissors 🙂 I am SO sorry to know that you’ve not had the joy of the warmer weather, and hope very much that the sun will be heading northwards very soon. You’re right about everything being easier when the sun’s out, and I for one, am extremely grateful for the rays! I hope you have a good weekend, and do keep in touch, love Ali xx

Hi Tracey, lovely to hear from you, and delighted to know that you and your mum enjoy the Diamonique shows and the blogs. I was sorry too that I missed Diamonique Day, but it wasn’t a day I was scheduled to work, but hopefully next time around I’ll be there. Alison O’Reilly hasn’t been with us for some time now as she has been unwell (not Covid related) but has been on a course of treatment and is responding really well to it. We are hoping very much to have her back with us in the studios once the situation generally is safer – yes, we miss her too. I very much hope that you and your mum remain well, and that you’ll be able to join me and Lee Clark on Sunday and then again on Tuesday for the regular show. Love Ali xx

Dear Joanna, thank you for writing to me, and I am glad that you enjoy the blogs. Completely agree that it’s incredible to think that Honey is now five years old, and that Colin and I will be celebrating five years married in June… time moves so quickly in some respects. I have another beautiful rose to share with you in my new blog, and I agree – flowers are such a beautiful way to remember someone. I do hope all is well with you, and that you have been able to enjoy some of the sunshine. Love Ali xx

Its lovely to heat about all your activities and that you are able to enjoy your family via the internet avd I think we will all be having family parties in our beautiful gardens when we are allowed. Your Kathleen rose is gorgeous, such a lovely vibrant colour. My friend bought me a floribunda Happy Birthday rose. It's got 30 buds on it and so far 7 have opened avd its stunning, a very pale pink with yellow stamens. Happily Jack is back to work after his dise of covid19 and we are put of isolation and covid free..blocking jack in his room and frantically wiping everywhere with bleach worked! I am working from home still and will continue to do so until the end of the school year..I am lucky as I know many of my friends and work colleagues who work in classrooms as teachers and TA's are very worried about the children coming back avd I was thinking the same must be for Lucy. I too gave been busy in the garden. One issue I have is that my giant lillies bought from QVC last year are being eaten by lily beetle and I've tried bought sprays and made my own from garlic and washing up liquid avd they keep coming back.. Anyway I am going to take olly out for a walk before it gets too hot and take some magazines to the nursing home where mum is.

I’ve just seen your lovely haircut! Well done for braving it! I saw your recommendation of Jemma forte’s book too while sitting in the sun. I can’t tell you how jealous all of us in the north and north west are of you southerners…as usual! Another storm for the last few days. We’ve not had the hot weather or sun at all so make sure you all count your blessings, big and small as they say. It makes such a difference even queuing to get your food!! No need for suncream or fans either! Have a nice weekend!x

Hi Christine, I think you may well be right. Certain things may have to change permanently, but hopefully it will all for the good in the end. I am sure your acers will pick up. Maybe just cut off the frost burned bits and feed it a little. Good luck and stay safe, love Ali xx

Was looking forward to seeing you on diamonique day, didn’t seem right to have a day of diamonique & you not there to share it with us viewers. I was talking to me Mum on the day about some of the shows & that you where missing, which sparked us both realising we had not seen our second diamonique Ali (Alison O’Reilly) for some time either. Does she not do the shows anymore ? We both love Lee, you have a good giggle with him. Both of us have too many diamonique items to mention. I like yourself have brought many gifts of diamonique for family & friends over the years. Hope you & your family stay safe & well during these unknown times, best wishes Tracey

Lovely to hear all your news and see you looking so well. I cannot believe Honey is 5!!! Where did the time go? She is gorgeous and looks so grown up. Bet you can’t wait to see her in person again.

Your mums rose is stunning and such a lovely way to remember her and keep her close.

Take care and keep smiling.

Bug hugs, Joanna xx
