Hi Kate,
Thanks for your comment – Dennis doesn’t cut the fronds until just before the new ones are pushing through… see my latest blog.
Love

Hi Gina,
I don’t know about your husband blushing, you just made me blush! Seriously though, it’s good to be back at work and provide distraction from this weird time we’re all living in.
The foot brace will be with me for a while yet, but I may be able to start leaving it off on air in shows where I don’t have to walk around – we’ll see.
Love

Hi Sylvia
It’s so good to be welcome in your living room and to be appreciated- thank you.
I’m glad to be back to help my colleagues out and also to try and take everyone’s mind of the worrying times we’re living through.
Love

Hi Ann
We had a lovely Easter despite all the restrictions – I hope you did too?
Actually, Dan looks a lot like my late dad particularly around the mouth.
I’m trying to pace myself, but I do get a little impatient with myself.

Thanks for your lovely comments- it’s so nice to be welcomed back in this way. To be honest, I give the measurements because my mum is one of the people who would not be able to look them up on line and I think of others like her.
Our wedding seems so long ago, but how lucky are we that we weren’t planning it for this summer.
My recovery is going well – still away to go but getting there
Love

Hi Nigel
Yes, Chris is from Spalding originally – his mum still lives there. How funny if you do know him especially as your surname is Roberts, the same as me!

Hi Lindy Lou
Thank you so much for your kind remarks – I’m glad to be back too. Good to hear you enjoy my blogs – I enjoy writing them! I still haven’t managed to video Wilfie playing football – he does that whole bunny-kicking thing with his back legs! I’ll keep trying
Love

Hi Gayle
You are most welcome – just trying to do all I can to keep people’s minds off the situation. I hope you will enjoy Why She Died – I have the final proofread to do this weekend before moving on to the next book.
Stay safe too
Love

Hi Tina
Apologies for the delay in replying to you, but at least the weather has stayed good and looks set fair for a few more days. We now know that lockdown is extended of course so I hope you are managing okay – I can only agree with your comments about the brave key workers working to keep the country going in these difficult times, especially all hospital staff.
Stay safe
Love

Don’t allow your gardener to cut the fronds off your fern till they are brown. The green fronds feed the knuckles for next year.
