Hello,<\/p>\n

Since my last blog I\u2019ve been having quite a busy but very enjoyable time! First, a couple of days away with my husband to celebrate his birthday and our 27th wedding anniversary (27 years? How on earth did that happen?). We had a lovely break in the New Forest, and had a wonderful surprise on our first night there because it turned out that Melissa Hardy, one of our lovely fashion guests at QVC, was there in the same restaurant as we were, celebrating HER wedding anniversary with her lovely husband! We ended up having a lovely evening with them and it made a special night even more fun.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n\"\"\n

And then I had my very long-awaited family reunion in Ireland. I haven\u2019t been able to see my mum or the rest of my family for two whole years due to the pandemic; it\u2019s the longest time in our whole lives that we haven\u2019t seen each other, and it\u2019s been very hard. I actually took the ferry to Dublin rather than flying, and spent the first night of my trip there with my three sisters.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Oh my goodness, what a brilliant night we had! It was so wonderful to see them again and we literally laughed until we cried. As some of you will know, there were once five of us \u2013 we lost our sister Deborah 11 years ago when she was 39. By a very happy coincidence, the day of our reunion was actually her birthday, and it was wonderful therefore that Ellen, one of her three beautiful daughters, was able to join us too, although I think she somewhat despairs of her four aunties – we are all so much older than her but so much more childish! (Gosh, there are a lot of wine glasses in all of these photos aren\u2019t there, whoops…).<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Then I drove to County Leitrim to spend a couple of days with my mum. It was just so great to see her and to catch up with her lovely neighbours and friends many of whom, like her, live alone but have all\u00a0looked out for each other so wonderfully over the past 18 months. It was a fabulous few days and over all too soon, but now that travelling restrictions have lifted a little, I\u2019m hoping to be able to go back again in the not too distant future.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Back at work there\u2019s lots going on as always! Huge beauty brand Clinique<\/a> has just joined QVC \u2013 its Dramatically Different moisturising lotion<\/a> was the first \u201cposh\u201d beauty product I ever bought back in my twenties, so it\u2019s great to see it still in the range and still in the same familiar yellow bottle! The brand will be launching with a bang with a Today\u2019s Special Value offer on-air from 9pm Monday 27th into Tuesday 28th September (but check the website on Friday 24th because it goes on presell then).<\/p>\n\"\"\n

And before that on Saturday 25th look out for a great Today\u2019s Special Value offer from Bose<\/a>. It\u2019s a TV speaker with Bluetooth connectivity, and will transform the sound quality of your television, especially if you have an older model. It\u2019s super easy to set up and will bring incredible crisp, crystal-clear sound (great if you sometimes struggle to hear dialogue properly), and cinema-like bass notes.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I\u2019ve heard these speakers in action and they are amazing, not just for TV watching but also if you want to hook up your phone or other device via the Bluetooth and play some music through it. And of course it will be at a fantastic price for one day only.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for now,<\/p>\n
