I hope all’s well…<\/p>\n

Are you having a holiday this year? Tracey and I decided again this year that we won’t be having a “holiday” in the traditional sense, but we’re taking plenty of day trips and have already spent quite a lot of time off time working on the garden etc.<\/p>\n

As the saying goes, “a change is as good as a rest” and as much as I love my job at The Q, I also love getting out into the beautiful UK countryside as often as I can. On Thursday I returned to the RSPB Arne reserve in Dorset, as I had enjoyed a visit there a few weeks back and despite the weather not playing nicely, I still had a wonderful relaxing time and took the photo above. I also took some video and plenty of photos, as you might guess, and I’ll share some with you in my next blog.<\/p>\n

It poured all day this Saturday, except for about an hour when the sun shone brightly, so my daughter Ali and I rushed out with the dogs and I couldn’t resist grazing on the early ripening blackberries – a little sharp but fantastic!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Talking of fantastic! This Saturday (the 14th<\/sup>) we have our best ever carpet washer on-air and it’s also a Today’s Special Value (TSV), which goes on pre-sell Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Vax Platinum Smart Wash Carpet Cleaner<\/strong> is from one of the UK’s leading carpet cleaning brands and has auto motion sensor technology – a UK first! This machine senses when it’s being pushed forward and automatically mixes warm water and cleaning solution before spraying onto the carpet. Then, when you pull back the machine it automatically starts to vacuum up the water, solution and most importantly, dirt from your rugs and carpets – there’s no trigger to squeeze in this mode. You also have a digital ‘Dry Only’ button if you just want to keep sucking up any residue etc. and this can help you dry your rug or carpet in just an hour!<\/p>\n

There’s a lot more to talk about so I put a quick video together here and more importantly, you’ll be able to watch full presentations at QVC on Saturday. I’ll be with you at 11.00am and again at 2pm – it’ll be lovely to have your company if you’re interested, as we have a great offer for this special TSV bundle, which also includes two litres of cleaning solution!<\/p>\n
