Hello, hope you are well and thank you for reading my blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thought I\u2019d share this picture of me and Michael taken just before our garden show at the weekend. I think it encapsulates the fun we have in our shows together. There doesn\u2019t seem to be anything that man doesn\u2019t know about gardening, plants and flowers! If you need any inspiration to get your garden looking great for the rest the summer be sure to check out the gardening part of our website<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also an exciting Today\u2019s Special Value coming up this Saturday from SBC<\/a> skincare. If you love the Collagen range it’s definitely one not to miss as there is a litre size of the Collagen Gel and Collagen Body Wash, as well as a double size Intensive Moisturiser and iconic Collagen Serum. If you\u2019ve never tried the Collagen range from SBC Skincare it\u2019s a great way to add moisture and hydration to your skin with the added benefits of marine collagen.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

I was lucky enough to take a trip to the \u2018motherland\u2019;\u00a0\u00a0Wales last week with my family. We were there for a short visit and we got so lucky with the weather!<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

The two full days we had were warm and sunny so we were able to take the little ones to the beach \u2013 it was pure joy to spend time with my nieces frolicking and playing in the sand and sea! And it\u2019s always good to be back in south Wales when my mum was born as I have holidayed there ever since I was a child.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Finally if you are around next Monday (16th of August) we have an exciting Christmassy day where I will be hosting shows for Culinary Concepts<\/a>, Hotel Chocolat<\/a> and even a show called the Christmas Grotto. It\u2019s going to be festive and fun and a great way to get a head start for the festive season. I might even wear my Christmas hat again haha!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So that\u2019s it for this week. Sending you a big hug as always,<\/span><\/p>\n
