Hello,<\/p>\n

Finally, my first blog of the new decade! I had a lovely Christmas with family (seems like SO long ago now!) but was back at work on the 28th of December, worked right through New Year until the 10th and then went away for a few days so it\u2019s been non-stop since then. After such a busy period it was great to get away – we went to The Dolomites in Italy for a long weekend.\"\"<\/a>We don\u2019t ski (I\u2019m so clumsy I\u2019d probably break a leg within ten minutes, and not in the showbiz sense!) but it was lovely spending a few days enjoying the snow, the sunshine and that fresh mountain air. My white Centigrade<\/a> coat from QVC kept me nice and cosy too! Here are a few pictures – some gorgeous scenery and some rather unexpected and rather wonderful wood sculptures we came across on a walk.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

So now a new year and a new decade. I\u2019m not one for making New Year resolutions as such, but I do have lots of plans and intentions for the coming year and beyond; I won\u2019t bore you with them all here, but instead will tell you about some of them as I make them happen over the next little while!<\/p>\n

One plan though is to continue sorting out the garden of our \u201cnew\u201d house – \u00a0not so new really now as we moved last March, but we had a lot of work to do in the house first so the garden is an on-going project. I want to attract as much wildlife as possible and I was so happy to see the \u201cnew\u201d birds loving Richard Jackson\u2019s bird food<\/a> just as much as our \u201cold\u201d birds did! Mr J has, if possible, made it even better this year with whole sunflower hearts, higher energy suet pellets and easier to eat oat groats (which also means less dust in the bag); the food is QVC\u2019s gardening pick of the month for January<\/a> so I\u2019m stocking up.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already tried a sample of it (or, I should say, the birds have), and I made a little video. The quality isn\u2019t the best because I had to film from the other end of the garden so as not to disturb my feathered friends too much but I let the camera run for less than ten minutes and had all these visitors. I love watching them so much – it makes me happy. Enjoy.<\/p>\n
