You find me trying to work out the best way to save the shellac on my fingernails and make them camera ready for Tuesday! Such a shame my show is not on a Wednesday, as I could have had the polish taken off professionally, but I think my temporary cover-up will work – just no close-up shots! Luckily, they\u2019ll be varnish ready when we bring you our Today’s Special Value from Nails Inc<\/strong><\/a> – a classy Christmas collection with metallic and glossy colours that all come in a beautiful box. Another gift ticked of your list maybe?<\/p>\n

How are you? I do hope that the latest government guidelines for the tier system and Christmas will make life easier for you, rather than more complicated? I’m not certain how it’s going to affect us as a family\u2026 So many people caught up with so many different criteria – support groups, and even childcare bubbles – it\u2019s difficult to know what to do for the best!<\/p>\n

We had hoped to visit Joe in Norfolk prior to Christmas, but I don\u2019t feel it\u2019s wise to expect an 87-year-old man to sit outside just so that we can see him. I think, sadly, we may have to resort to a telephone call instead and post his presents rather than deliver them. I know I\u2019m not alone in having believed that once the restrictions were lifted it would have been far less complicated moving forwards, but I appreciate that this has all been put in place with a view to the end result of seeing as many people safe and symptom-free as possible. \u00a0It\u2019s not easy though, is it?<\/p>\n

That said, Colin decided to convert our covered seating area in the garden into a Santa\u2019s grotto, complete with a Christmas tree, lights and an illuminated dachshund and polar bear! Add to that mix a real-life fire pit and bingo! Christmas is on its way! \ud83d\ude42 Whoever we are able to see will be encouraged to enjoy the fire pit with a mulled wine or hot chocolate, depending on their preference. At least it\u2019s outdoors!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s across the entire country, but I\u2019ve definitely noticed that it\u2019s got a lot colder in the last few days. I really enjoyed my Cozee Home<\/strong><\/a> shows with Debra Leigh and have ordered more of their fleece bedding for certain members of the family. Such great gifts to give, and if you\u2019ve not tried it before because you are skeptical about sleeping on the fleece when it\u2019s usually something you wear, don\u2019t be. The sensible thing is to turn your heating off overnight and save energy, and with this bedding, you will never feel cold again. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure I\u2019ve mentioned that my younger sister retired after 26 years of teaching and is thoroughly enjoying having so much time to herself. It\u2019s meant that she can take over some of the childcare for her two grandsons, spend more time in the garden, and see more of me! She\u2019s a keen advocate of the National Trust and booked us into Winkworth Arboretum for a much needed “outdoors time” connection.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Gone are the days when you can just turn up and enjoy the scenery. Now it\u2019s much more a case of head counting to incorporate social distancing. Because of the Smart Motorway, which has taken over the M4, my journey was not that simple. Thank heavens for Waze – because having circumnavigated Surrey, I finally met up with Jenny in the rather muddy car park and headed off around the huge grounds that make up Winkworth.<\/p>\n

I knew nothing about this exceptionally beautiful area of Surrey, although I lived in this county for the first 20 years of my life, but I did learn that dermatologist Wilfred Fox purchased 130 acres of woodland next to his farmhouse in the Thorncombe Valley. At that time, the area was mainly covered in scrub woodland, with several plantations of larch and firs. \u00a0The Second World War changed everything, and in spite of the desperate situation a lot of people found themselves in, Dr Fox encouraged many members of his family to help him to replant the area with cherry trees, Japanese and other maples and azaleas for their autumn foliage as well as an incredible collection of rowan, white beam and firs.<\/p>\n

Honestly, it\u2019s the most remarkable mix of autumn colours and more importantly the views we were afforded across the Surrey hillsides were just stunning. I\u2019d packed us a picnic and the rain held off while we ate it, and the afternoon was glorious. I thought you might enjoy these pictures.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I also managed to meet up with Kathy Taylor and Claire Sutton (on two separate occasions) and we also had a picnic and a lovely long walk.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Kathy and I live fairly close to each other, so Cookham is the perfect place for us to park up and head out along the river. We met at QVC, having joined at the same time, and have shared a dressing room since day one. We\u2019ve also shared a wonderful friendship in all that time too, and any time spent in her company is very special to me.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Although Claire joined QVC three years before us, she was the first presenter I was introduced to, and we too have become close over the years. She is very much missed at the Q, but is so busy doing all kinds of things now, that even though we had a good three hours or more together, we still ran out of time to catch up on everything! It would have been lovely if the three of us could have had the walk together, and sometimes I find it frustrating not being able to do what we took for granted before. But on a positive note, it has made those times we can be together all the more precious.<\/p>\n

Something I have enjoyed during the last eight months or more is reading to you on my Story Time feature each Saturday. Sadly, I had to make the decision to stop this last Saturday – my main challenge being finding a short story that was only 15 minutes long! Originally, the feature was to bring a little something to you during the long first lockdown, but I continued with it through this second lockdown too. Thank you for all the appreciation and lovely comments, and if I can, I\u2019ll find a Christmas story and post that up nearer to the big day! In the meantime, here\u2019s the link<\/a> to take you to the final story from Cecilia Ahern\u2019s Collection \u2018Roar\u2019 – The Woman Who had A Ticking Clock. It\u2019s quite quirky, but very touching.<\/p>\n

With only three weeks to go, and Black Friday behind us, QVC are still pulling out all the stops to help you buy the perfect gift, and if it\u2019s the girls you\u2019re planning to buy for, then don\u2019t miss the TSV from Doll 10<\/strong><\/a> that\u2019s coming up this Sunday. It\u2019s a five-piece Flawless Face Collection for under \u00a342 and will be on pre-sell prior to that. The item number is 242011. Oh, and you may well be interested to know that Doris Dalton – the founder of Doll 10<\/strong><\/a> – is featured on our podcast this week too. You can find out all about this lovely lady by clicking the link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

And if you want to make sure your skin is at it\u2019s best before you apply your Doll 10<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0make-up, Abi Cleave\u2019s Skinsense<\/strong><\/a> range is featuring on Wednesday with her five-piece Anti-Ageing range (240785<\/a>).<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I am sorry that life has been so hard for so many of you and I pray that the little bit of support we can give each other has helped. Please do keep in touch, and let\u2019s all hope that things will change in a more positive way over the next few weeks. Stay safe and stay well.<\/p>\n

With my love,<\/p>\n
