Hello,<\/p>\n

Well, there\u2019s definitely a feeling of autumn in the air now, isn\u2019t there? I do love this time of year though, even if it does mean spending less time outdoors. I don\u2019t tend to watch that much TV during the summer months, and will probably watch a lot more over the autumn and winter – one series I\u2019m really looking forward to seeing return, is the BBC comedy This Country. If you haven\u2019t seen it, it\u2019s a \u201cmockumentary\u201d set in a Gloucestershire village which documents the lives of the young people who live there, and is absolutely hilarious; series three is currently being filmed and the show has already won several BAFTAs.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

There\u2019s also a brilliant fan podcast which supports it and I was delighted to be asked to go along and record an episode as a \u201csuperfan\u201d. It was great fun chatting to the hosts Pavo and Neil (see photo above!) – if you like the series and enjoy podcasts, have a look for the This Country podcast. (Warning! Both the comedy series and the podcast contain some choice language so maybe not for the easily offended).<\/p>\n

A new season also means, of course, new fashion – hurray! So I thought I\u2019d share a few of my autumn fashion picks from QVC with you. I\u2019ve already bought this gloriously colourful Rino & Pelle faux fur jacket<\/a>. It\u2019s too warm to wear now, but I can\u2019t wait for those colder days so I can snuggle up in it.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

And I\u2019ve also just ordered two pieces from my fashion buddy Ruth Langsford\u2019s new autumn\/winter collection: the sequin T-shirt<\/a>\u00a0and the fabulous sequin pencil skirt<\/a>, both of which are just perfect for the party season. In fact I couldn\u2019t wait to wear the T-shirt (I\u2019m so impatient) so popped it on for some Christmas decor shows at QVC this week. Gorgeous!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Finally, if you want to hold on to summer a bit longer, have a look at the great Today\u2019s Special Value offer from Peony<\/a> on Monday 30th. The brand is known for its superb faux flowers, recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society, and will be offering a fabulous floral arrangement with greenery in a glass decanter vase.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

There\u2019s a choice of Delphinium, Lily, Peony or Gladioli, and the stems aren\u2019t fixed so you can mix these with real flowers or split the arrangement up if you want to. I took the Delphinium option home to try and thought it looked wonderful on my dining table (above left); a real showstopper and a perfect centrepiece.<\/p>\n

Speak soon!<\/p>\n
