Five colours. Storage, chair, end of bed, entrance hall, sitting room, coffee table, extra seating, the perfect piece for this time of year!\u201d I agree, how stylish is this?

It was nice to go onto this old style post van and pretend I was Postman Pat ha ha. Without the cat though or I would be sneezing too much lol. I was also fascinated by this stand featuring Nancy Astor, who became the first woman MP almost 100 years ago.<\/p>\n She used to get 23,000 letters a week at peak, and her helpers replied to every single one of them. How far we\u2019ve come. Talk about throwback Friday! The aim is that 50% of women will be MPs at one point or other in the future, and I applaud it. It won\u2019t be me though\u2026 Even though people have asked me. I do admire them all however and love politics. It was interesting to read some of the recreated letters in a pile on the desk in this display, because the period I\u2019m writing about in my fifth novel is also around about that time. And one of the real life characters I\u2019m basing my heroine on also got thousands of letters from ladies wanting to know about birth control in a period when it was not allowed. Again, makes you realise how far females have come in just 100 years. Thank goodness.<\/p>\n Flashback Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n I know you guys like being reminded of things like this, and this one popped up on my Facebook this week. It’s been four years since I had my first skydiving experience, with fab Gill Gauntlett and lovely Patrick Hoy when we all went to Milton Keynes to see the Medical Detection doggies and then go on an adventure. A big day of firsts. Four years ago a, how time flies\u2026 Literally in this case ha ha.\u00a0 I was doing a lot more with MDD back then, but I\u2019m pleased to say I will be going to see some puppies on a training day at some point in the next couple of months, I hope. Milton Keynes is a big diversion from Devon to London :-). Also caught up briefly with fellow ambassador Andrew Pierce the journalist this week when I was away \ud83d\ude42 and Iain Dale – both radio hosts as well. Shook the hands of a couple of other famous reporters too – I\u2019m such a groupie!<\/p>\n Podcasts<\/strong><\/p>\n Bang up-to-date with all the new Podcasts from Will Gowing. The first two are with Ruth Langsford<\/a><\/strong> and my super mate Alison Cork<\/a><\/strong>. Do go here<\/a> to listen to them. As you may know I\u2019m a massive fan of audiobooks and podcasts in general, as it means you can get on with other things while you are learning about stuff! Looking forward to more of these from Mr Gowing. I also like listening to the Liz Earle one on well-being, and one called Brexitcast that is very funny. My podcast app is always full!<\/p>\n Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n The Apprentice is back! Enough said – watch it on catch up \ud83d\ude42 And Helen Mirren also returns in a magnificent new period series called Catherine the Great. Can\u2019t wait to see both of them, and to watch the finale of A Confession that is on soon. I plan to see Brad Pitt\u2019s Ad Astra at the cinema too soon as I have time as well \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n If you want to watch something now, do you go see the QVC Style takeover, with a Facebook live<\/a> from RuPaul and Mally!<\/p>\n Book of the Week <\/strong>– Blood Orange by Harriet Tice<\/p>\n The QVC presenters have got something of a book club going on our WhatsApp group! This book is one that has been recommended by several people including Jackie, whose recommendations I always take because she reads some cracking books (and writes some too!) Can\u2019t wait to read about the woman who seems to have it all, until she defends her first case, featuring a client who admits she killed her husband, but did she? Looking forward to it!<\/p>\n Blooper <\/strong><\/p>\n Baby shark makes it to QVC…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/TSV-collage.jpg\")
