Hi there!<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to have the chance to stand on the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town towards the end of an amazing holiday in Namibia and South Africa. On Saturday last weekend, on what I think must have been the last day of summer for this year, I climbed to the top of another Table Mountain, this time the one overlooking Crickhowell in the Brecon Beacons in Wales.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\n

Olley and I were enjoying another motor home trip and my word, we picked the right week to go weather wise! Standing on the flat top of Table Mountain (strictly speaking at only 451 metres high, it’s really only a hill) soaking in the glorious sunshine as I enjoyed the 360 degree stunning views, I felt happy simply to be alive!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\n

It was a feeling I enjoyed a number of times during our week away – it usually happens when I\u2019m outside and active in lovely surroundings. My heart swells and lifts in my chest and I\u2019m suddenly aware of how little you need to feel content. Good health, the love of a good man and three thriving children just about sums it up!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\n

We split our time between the mountains and the coast, with a few days in the Gower as well. The sea was warm enough to swim in, and our campsite was right on the cliffs overlooking a beautiful beach. I found the perfect spot on the cliff top to lay down my yoga mat and greet the morning with some \u2018sun salutations\u2019!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\n

When you have the weather, there is nowhere else in the world to beat the UK. We\u2019ve enjoyed Scotland, Wales and Cornwall in our motorhome this year, hopefully we might get to Ireland next year…<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\n

But, of course, the weather never stays the same for long and autumn has definitely arrived. I\u2019m writing this in the passenger seat while Olley drives us to Peterborough through driving rain and horrendous conditions for our regular Tuesday treat of looking after our granddaughter Zoe. It\u2019s hard to believe that we were basking in tropical temperatures only days ago.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s back to work for me tomorrow – I\u2019m going to notice the darker mornings now. But there\u2019s lots to brighten our days with some of the fabulous deals we have coming up at QVC. Nowadays, it isn\u2019t only the Today\u2019s Special Value to check out, but all the Big Deals<\/a> that last for a week, from midnight Sunday (providing we have enough stock to last the week, of course.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve just had a look on our website and made two orders! One for me, and one to split between my daughter and my two sons\u2019 girlfriends at Christmas time. They all love fragranced candles, and you can\u2019t get better than the gorgeous Neom<\/a><\/strong> offerings. We have a three-piece Luxury Candle collection<\/a> at a much reduced price, but just for this week. Check out the five star reviews!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve treated myself to the five-piece Ultimate Full Volume collection<\/a> from my favourite haircare range, Living Proof<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s brilliant for my fine hair and, again, over \u00a320 saving – even more compared to buying direct from Living Proof<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve almost arrived to look after Zoe rather late after a very wet, slow journey, so I\u2019ll leave you to enjoy your day. Plus, it\u2019s probably best I stop browsing on the QVCUK<\/a> website before I spend any more money!!<\/p>\n

Have a good week, and take care.<\/p>\n

Love Kathy x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
