Hi Micheal, love reading your blog & do miss you not being on QVC , one of the best Presenters. Sorry I don’t like the beard I agree with you that it makes you look scruffy & I think they are quickly going out of fashion now. You look much more handsome when clean shaven !!! Sorry your back has been so bad hope it soon improves. You have made a lovely job of your balcony & it will probably be even better with some of QVC flowers. This “Lock Down” is a pain but when we go back to normal I’m sure we will appreciate our lives more. Hope you stay safe & well, looking forward to seeing you back on QVC.
Cheers June.

Love reading your blog. SO sorry you have been suffering so badly. Being in constant pain is just awful, it really drags you down. Lockdown I fear, will NOT be helping. Please take it slowly, don’t push yourself too much, take it easy and be kind to yourself. Don’t feel guilty if you aren’t your usual lovely, lively wee self, you’re allowed to be a bit “off”. Pain does that to you, it changes your personality, whether you realise it or not. Don’t rush to “pick yourself up”, you have had a really awful couple of years and I for one, don’t know how you are coping so well actually.
Your balcony is going to be a lovely space for you to sit and relax and just “be”. Take your favourite tea or coffee, a great book, get your favourite music playing and one of your lovely Yankee candles flickering away, sit there and enjoy every second of it. I swear, it will help get you back to being you, it doesn’t matter how long it takes, just take it at your own pace, so you can get back to us when all this madness is over.
My friend and I are actually on a virtual holiday!! She suffers from anxiety and depression, and I was thinking about things I could do to help her through this. I’ve spent ages trawling through travel groups and finding places for us to “visit”. We’ve been scooting round the Greek islands, in various boats we have picked up along the way. We’re totally making it up as we go along. What a hoot. We’ve actually laughed till we cried, we might not come back to reality!!! We’re currently having breakfast on a beautiful beach. Absolutely no clue where it is, but the photo is beautiful lol. You do what you have to do to get through this. It’s helping her no end, and I’m having a lovely time too.
Take care and stay safe. Much love. Una x

Hi Miceal, you do look very distinguished with your beard, last blog hated it now lovrl.

Michael have you considered EFT for your back, it does work I have been in house for nearly a year unable t o walk without holding onto something, would you believe it, just as I was able to walk again confidently going out, everyone in house, stay cheerful and look up Brad Yates or Nick Ortner on Utube.

Hi Miceal, thank you so much for sharing your lovely blog. I am so happy that you are feeling much better. By the way the balcony looks lovely. I have done lots of shopping. Just waiting for my deliveries to arrive. My routine has gone out of the window. Stay safe and well. Antoinette.

Oh Miceal, this isn’t you. You are always so upbeat, especially presenting fashion – I love your knowledge and enthusiasm when presenting such shows, a real delight. So come on, these dreadful times are boring but please pick yourself up. What about doing some kind of fashion-related blog, maybe related to the bye-gone era, or better still, the fashion styles of Hollywood beauties including your beloved Sofia Loren? Maybe with a link to QVC fashion. Just a thought.

Hi Miceal, so glad your back is improving and you’re feeling better. I have also discovered lovely walks near me that I didn’t know existed … and I’ve lived here more than 10 years. We’re all just so busy in ‘normal’ times. And you’re right about the geraniums; I’ve had 10 years experience of a sunny, south facing balcony and they’re definitely the best. In fact, they’re the only things that survive in the summer if you should go away for a week or two. I’m just waiting for my QVC delivery of the mixed pack, hopefully next week. Take care and stay safe x
