Yes, it finally snowed. It didn\u2019t really settle, but this was still 4pm in the afternoon by the time I went for a walk on Wednesday last, and it was bitterly cold. I did a quick vlog (see below), and within just two minutes my fingers felt like they were dropping off! I went home and ate the remains of a lovely chicken casserole, which my mum had passed over the balcony to me, then tucked into a pie from Wilfred’s<\/strong> new Welsh brand, launching Monday, see below!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been cocooning and watching lots of telly, as most people have. I made the decision that I wanted to keep up all of my Christmas decorations, apart from the ones that have actually got Santa on them. I took down the cards, but the rest of the decorations are making it seem a little more cheery, and we all need cheering up, don\u2019t we!<\/p>\n

I have continued doing my regular Bodyblade<\/strong> routine with friend Jenny, and added in one or two sessions with daughter Lauren and niece Becky, who both have one now! Hoping it will come back in stock at some stage in the UK on QVC. \ud83d\ude42 Meanwhile, here<\/a> is all of our keep fit equipment, there is quite a choice.<\/p>\n

In all of the weirdness though, I can\u2019t say I haven\u2019t been enjoying being in one place. It\u2019s been quite nice to have so much time on my hands. Been thinking seriously about what to do going forwards. Will keep you informed\u2026<\/p>\n

Muddy<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

And if it wasn\u2019t snowing, it was muddy! So many people in the Banstead Woods (can\u2019t blame them) out getting exercise. But the slightest bit of precipitation, and it becomes a mud bath. I waded across this lot in my ankle-height boots and promptly went home and ordered some deeper ones! I didn\u2019t want to go walking in this, in my lovely new Emu<\/strong> <\/a>boots! Ordered 178509<\/a>, size 9! I usually take an eight, but the water-resistant ones are often a bit snug, so these are fine. Bit long, but they will be perfect for keeping my lovely tootsies warm and cosy in this bitter cold weather. \ud83d\ude42 A couple of pairs are still available, don\u2019t miss out!<\/p>\n

If you did miss our sales over Christmas and early New Year, go online to see what\u2019s available in clearance<\/a>. Some belters – including dresses for \u00a310! Check it out.<\/p>\n

Most liked<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Thought I would send you one of the most liked photographs from this week – the one that I did for Stine<\/a> our stylist, for the Ruth Langsford<\/strong><\/a> Today\u2019s Special Value jumper (if you read my blogs on a Friday, this one may just still be available here<\/a>.) Lovely make-up as well, including Doll 10<\/strong><\/a> T.C.E. Foundation (available in this set<\/a>) – in case you wondered! And hair by Dyson<\/strong><\/a> Airwrap as usual!<\/p>\n

Old Morden cinema<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

The group \u2018I grew up in Morden\u2019 on Facebook has been filled with some wonderful nostalgia lately. As part of my looking back sessions, I have loved buying old books full of photographs from the last century and earlier. One called \u201cThrow Out Your Old Mouldies\u201d features pictures from Merton, Mitcham and Morden, particularly when the tube station was built around 1926. It was all fields before that and Morden was very rural. Now you need to go many more miles further out to reach a proper rural landscape in south west London! This old Odeon cinema was where I remember seeing “The Jungle Book” for the first time, probably in the late ’60s. My dad was a school caretaker in Morden Farm middle school from 1970 until about 1980, I think, so it\u2019s my old stomping ground. Very much loving being part of the group and looking forward to sharing more pictures from books like that.<\/p>\n

Watch <\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve discovered David Attenborough\u2019s latest series, “A Perfect Planet” and I\u2019m learning lots of things, for instance, about the wasp that only lives for 48 hours and needs to bury itself inside a fig fruit in order to reproduce. Very weird way it does that too! (If you watch the series, you\u2019ll understand what I mean.)<\/p>\n

Also have seen some great series and films. Naturally, I\u2019ve watched “The Serpent”, with Jenna Coleman – the kind of Bonnie and Clyde tale of a gem dealer criminal in the 70s, very well-made. Plus, I saw a fabulous film called “Irresistible” with Steve Carell. It\u2019s on Prime, I think, and well worth a little investment to watch it. It\u2019s set in the world of American politics just after the Donald Trump victory election, so it\u2019s very pertinent given what\u2019s in the news lately. Great performances, good comedy and a wonderful twist I did not see coming.<\/p>\n

Finally, I also saw “A Little Chaos”. Kate Winslet laid it on thick as a 1600s French landscape gardener, caught in a web of Royal Court shenanigans. It\u2019s kind of a romance and it was a very easy watch.<\/p>\n

I guess you can tell I\u2019ve been watching a lot of television lately!! Given what\u2019s ahead of us, there will be lots more where that came from! Just discovered “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the Witch” too, so I\u2019m wading my way through that one. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
