It was so lovely to have Alison O\u2019Reilly back in the QVC studios for our Diamonique<\/a> Day last Friday and judging by the number of messages both she and I had on social media, you were pleased to see her back too and looking so well. How funny that we both got the \u2018green memo\u2019!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

We had actually considered doing last Friday\u2019s Permission to Pry on my Instagram page (@juliagroberts) with Alison, but in the end, it didn\u2019t work logistically as she has quite a long drive to QVC, so we are doing it today instead, back at the normal time of 11am. By the way, if Friday mornings don\u2019t work for you, I always leave the video on my picture grid for a week for you to watch at your leisure and after that you can find all of them by tapping the middle icon above my picture grid\u2026 the one that looks like a TV screen with a lightning bolt running through it (technical explanation!)<\/p>\n

So, instead of Alison, I had a lovely chat with Andrew Bagley from Gatineau<\/a>. Normally I\u2019m able to Pry on people\u2019s grids beforehand and find lots of pictures to ask questions about. This was not the case with Andrew as he is usually very private and only has one photo on his grid and that is of a Gatineau product. It\u2019s a good job I\u2019ve known him through QVC for over twenty-seven years, so had an idea of which way to direct the conversation. For example, what is the story behind this photo of my lovely daughter, Sophie and Andrew?!? All is revealed on last week\u2019s Permission to Pry, along with Andrew\u2019s \u2018Something we don\u2019t know about you\u2019 (a jaw-dropping surprise) and a cute puppy appearance.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

If you get a minute you should watch it \u2013 I absolutely loved it. Do remember to leave a comment requesting other QVC guests (or presenters) whose off-screen life you would like me to \u2018pry\u2019 into once I have their permission!<\/p>\n

So once again this week, there is no Fashion on Friday on the main channel although I will still be presenting FOF on the Style channel at 6pm as per usual. The reason is another event day and this time it\u2019s gardening<\/a>. I\u2019m on at 3pm with Let Your Garden Glow and 4pm with Garden Inspirations. I\u2019ve managed to fit a bit of gardening in this week between editing my next book (more on that later) and I\u2019ve also enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine for my lunch and post lunch cup of fruit tea. I filmed this video of a blue tit feeding on the Grumpy Gardener fat balls and am whispering because the brave little chap was less than a metre away from me.<\/p>\n
