I\u2019m going to start this blog with a big thank you: so lovely to hear from you with your supportive comments and shared experiences. Nothing better or more of a leveller than realising I\u2019m not remotely alone when it comes to feeling a bit overwhelmed, but it was really helpful learning how you\u2019ve found ways to deal with it as I know I will.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I\u2019ve had some fabulous walks over this last week, and it\u2019s staggering the difference the warmer weather and sunshine have made to the countryside. The fields I walk alongside were sewn with crops a month ago and already the wheat is knee-high! It\u2019s been a fabulous year for blossom too \u2013 look at the hawthorn here and the bluebells I visited near Guildford the other day. These are the original British bluebells, not the Dutch ones we see so many of, and the blue is closer to the beautiful gemstone AAAA Tanzanite! Such a subtle scent too.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I feel very lucky to live so close to so much open space as walking has always been my way of escaping the world for a bit and relaxing too. Of course, it also gives me a chance to listen to my audiobooks, and the latest one I\u2019ve just finished was magnificent. Read by the award-winning Irish actor Niall Buggy whose dulcet tones brought Maurice\u2019s world to life. \u201cWhen All is Said\u201d by Anne Griffin is the most beautiful story of one man\u2019s lifetime, all those he has loved, and all those he has lost. I would highly recommend it, and I enjoyed it so much I\u2019ve just downloaded Anne\u2019s second novel \u201c Listening Still\u201d. What are you reading\/listening to at the moment? I love a recommendation \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk TV
\n<\/strong>
\nI must also mention the ITV series Julia which is a brilliant portrayal of the first TV chef Julia Child and stars Sarah Lancashire who has captured the very essence of this remarkable woman brilliantly. We watched the first three episodes back-to-back \u2013 engaging, entertaining and a real insight into how the world of TV works behind the scenes. Mercifully we\u2019ve come a long way since then!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also enjoying All Creatures Great and Small \u2013 the newer remake of James Herriott\u2019s bestselling book It Shouldn\u2019t Happen to a Vet. Funny to think I worked for the publisher, Michael Joseph, when it was marketed and was lucky enough to meet the author \u2013 a lovely man.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very excited to be going back to the Harold Pinter Theatre this week to see the incredible actor Jodie Comer in Prima Facia \u2013 a one-woman play about a barrister. She\u2019s received standing ovations every night and it\u2019s only a short run so I\u2019ll let you know what I thought of it. Another female actor I think is fabulous is Ruth Wilson, and I saw her at the same theatre last month in \u201cThe Human Voice\u201d \u2013 a play by Jean Cocteau. Ruth was outstanding but I can\u2019t honestly say I enjoyed it that much as I felt there was too much missing within the backstory. I wanted to know more about the character and her backstory, so for me, it was more like watching an acting masterclass with Ms Wilson, who was superb.<\/p>\n

A trip to the theatre<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you will have seen my photos from last week\u2019s theatre visit to see Frozen in the West End with my beautiful granddaughter Honey.\u00a0 We travelled by train \u2013 well three trains there and three back \u2013 had lunch in Covent Garden, and thoroughly enjoyed the musical, which was epic!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Lucy was happy for me to share these pictures and suffice to say we just had the best time.\u00a0 She stayed with Colin and I for two nights and was such great company and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing her next week when she celebrates her 7th birthday!\u00a0 Can you believe it?\u00a0 I remember the day she was born as if it was yesterday – she has brought so much joy into our lives, and I cherish our relationship.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

May is another busy month for birthdays with my sister\u2019s partner Linda\u2019s on the 4th<\/sup>, Honey on the 6th<\/sup>, my niece Verity on the 17th<\/sup>, my goddaughter Phoebe on the 20th<\/sup>, my stepson’s partner Hayley’s on the 26th, Colin\u2019s 60th<\/sup> on the 30th<\/sup> and Sam\u2019s girlfriend Elise on the 31st<\/sup>!\u00a0 So, there will be a fair few celebrations on the horizon for the family to look forward to \u2013 maybe a BBQ if the weather gets a little warmer! \u00a0And of course, there\u2019s the Queen\u2019s Platinum Jubilee to celebrate too \u2013 are you having a street party?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk TSVs
\n<\/strong>
\nI had a lovely hour with Simon Wilson and his incredible collection of Butler & Wilson<\/a> jewellery on Tuesday at QVC. Not sure if you saw the show but he\u2019d designed four new pieces of jewellery to commemorate our Majesty\u2019s 70 years on the throne and they pretty much all sold out!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll be busy on the 3rd May too when we have a four-hour Diamonique<\/a> jewellery event that begins at 5pm, features the lovely Tova Borgnine<\/a> collection, and finishes with my show at 8pm. Do join me if you can.<\/p>\n

Something else I wanted to give you a heads up on is a MarlaWynne<\/a> TSV this Sunday that is part of our Discover QVC event. Marla\u2019s fashion range is only available from us and she\u2019s designed a loose-fit, sleeveless, wide-leg jumpsuit \u2013 it\u2019s even got pockets! Her attention to detail, use of colour and exquisite styling are evident in this outfit, and at an amazing price, I\u2019m certain it\u2019s going to be popular. It\u2019s available in three beautiful blurred prints – indigo, black and sage, and also in plain black and indigo and Melissa Hardy will be with me at 9pm with styling tips and suggestions too.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

News also from a relative newcomer to QVC, the footwear brand BOnova<\/a>. As we no longer carry Birkenstock, these are the closest thing to that kind of styling in footwear with the natural cork and rubber footbed and arch support. The Snake Double Strap sandal we have as a TSV on the 5th May is exclusive to us and comes in five chic designs \u2013 two marvellous metallics in the silver and rose and a blue and gold snake, tan, and white snake option. I\u2019m sure they\u2019d work really well with Marla\u2019s jumpsuit – perfectly placed as we move into the warmer months of the year.<\/p>\n

Well, I think that\u2019s all my news for now but I hope you enjoy reading and do get in touch if you get a moment, as it\u2019s always good to hear from you.<\/p>\n

With my love,<\/p>\n
