What a lovely family day out I had, two days running, with my son and his family in Fulham. On the Friday I met him for a lovely lunch just round the corner from where he lives. It was really nice to spend time with just him, regulars with very long memories will remember my Bradley and mummy time outings from years ago, long before he was married. Really nice to catch up and have a one-to-one chat! Had a smashing lunch in the nearby pub.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Then I went and got his two little terrors from nursery. We went to the coffee shop where they both have got used to turning their faces away when I take a selfie of us all, since they are not social media babies, bless! Had a lovely time but I was really tired by now!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Then, the next day, I returned as it was time for the Parsons Green fair. And they had so many stalls and displays as well. Talk about lucky with the weather. After Blake and I went on the high up ride (see main photo), she had a go on the donkey ride, Brad took both of them on the little car roundabout, and we all, including Kari, set to watch the dancing displays in the main tent. It was a wonderful day, and little Kaleb did a bit of dancing to the music himself. So sweet! Got to make the most of days like this; even though I was really tired I forced myself to go. And I\u2019m glad I did \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Blowing Raspberries<\/strong><\/p>\n

On my flying trip to Devon on Tuesday for an evening meeting with my association executive, was followed up by a little bit of raspberry picking in the morning after. It had to be done! The bushes in the back garden are really prolific this year! It\u2019s a joy to behold. Because I haven\u2019t been there as much, I haven\u2019t managed to keep away the greeblies from eating the lilies: about half of them have been munched, which is a real shame. But it\u2019s a great year for wallflowers, don\u2019t you think? Anyway I took this little container of raspberries to Wales and Phoebe loved them! She was well happy and had eaten about half of them by the time I took this picture! The little back garden plants are coming on well, and I took great delight in spending an evening and a very early morning with my grandkids and daughter and son-in-law, before driving back home to Surrey and an evening meeting with fellow residents\/directors at my flats in Banstead! I collapsed into bed that night I can tell you!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Jasper Agog<\/strong><\/p>\n

Little grandson Jasper, he\u2019s growing so quickly. Well they do at five months, don\u2019t they? He just lays there looking deep into your eyes in wonder as if he\u2019s trying to read your mind, so lovely. I played with him quite a lot when I went to Wales, even though it was a fleeting visit. Then just before his bedtime, he decided he was very interested in the television! Some Netflix thing with Melissa McCarthy that my daughter was watching. And he properly sat there watching it (bless him!) before he was whisked away for a feed and bed. I remember my lovely Daisy dog used to sit watching the television with me as well, whereas Gracie just didn\u2019t even seem to realise there were pictures on the screen. I have just read Phoebe her bedtime stories too. She\u2019s very much into the Tom Fletcher books at the moment and I\u2019ve just ordered ‘There\u2019s an elf in my book’! Had a lovely time with my babies. not long and I will be seeing them again on the weekend at the wedding!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Meet Ruth!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thought I would give you a quick heads up that Ruth Langsford and QVC are getting together for a very special event! Details on this poster. If you remember our beauty bash events, I\u2019m sure it will be along those lines and will feature some very famous faces as well from Ruth\u2018s TV world. It\u2019s at the end of July so apply soon!<\/p>\n

Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lincoln Lawyer, on Netflix, the TV series based on Michael Connelly\u2018s books. Yes, it was made into a film with Matthew McConaughey once, but I think this looks a much better option. I have loved his tales featuring these characters and I will definitely be looking this one up! To be honest there\u2019s so much choice at the moment on the telly I don\u2019t know where to start. Of course I was glued to all the developments mid-week when the political shenanigans were going on, and when I\u2019m away I will definitely get back into watching something nightly. It will probably be this. Or Stranger Things, I keep hearing so much about it! Have you watched it? Why is it so popular?<\/p>\n

Blooper<\/strong><\/p>\n

Proper one! Go here<\/a> to see what happened during one of my shows with one of our fab new behind-the-scenes people – getting used to what the on-air camera-light meant. Bless her!<\/p>\n

Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the best books I have read all year! ‘Lessons in Chemistry’ by Bonnie Garmus. Bookshop tweeted asking what was your top book of the year, and this one got mentioned by so many responses I thought I\u2019d get it. I\u2019m so glad I did! You will absolutely love it. If you take one recommendation for me this year, make it this one. A feisty woman chemist who becomes a TV star in the 60s when women weren\u2019t supposed to have an opinion, features a clever kid and a wise dog amongst others too. Absolutely loved every minute. Highly highly recommended!<\/p>\n
