So how\u2019s your New Year been so far? Further to the episode of overdoing it before Christmas, I\u2019m proud to confirm that I\u2019ve booked a writing holiday at the end of April, where I hope to get some sunshine. It\u2019s so dull and dreary isn\u2019t it, January? I don\u2019t blame the people who decide to vacate the country when it\u2019s such dismal weather. In fact, one of the topics on this week\u2019s vlogs was just that – and most people said their worst month is January!<\/p>\n

My pal Linda has dealt with the January and ‘blue Monday’ blues by going away for four months to Portugal – well jel! So many people do it – do you? Also, I suppose it happens a lot the other way round too. My pal Denise, a professional house-sitter, mentioned about getting me some help down in Devon this summer with an intern, house-sitter or some such, by using a site for people down under who want to escape their winter. I guess spending a few months here during our summer (albeit not always hot) might be better than having another winter in Australia, although any rain would be welcome I\u2019m sure. In fact, my pal Alix did just that for years – never had a winter because she went to visit her daughter in Oz every November to February. Lucky ladies. One day I\u2019d like to winter abroad, wouldn\u2019t you? All food for thought, right? Anyway thank goodness for those highlights that brighten up the month like\u2026 birthday parties!<\/p>\n

OMG where has that time gone? Spent a wonderful weekend celebrating with beautiful GD1, Blake, for her second birthday with my son Brad and daughter-in-law Kari. My lovely Lollipop and her hubby came with GD2, 16-month-old, gorgeous Phoebe. I don\u2019t see them often enough, that\u2019s for sure (and if there\u2019s one thing I\u2019d like to change, it\u2019s to see at least one of them every week instead of every two weeks. I\u2019m going to see what I can do.) So as regulars know, my kids don\u2019t want their children to be social media babies, like so many nowadays. But I can paint you a picture with words. Little Blake, thrilled with her Elsa from Frozen dressing up costume, kicking her long skirts up round the lounge while Phoebe, five inches shorter still, followed her around stopping every so often to pick things up from the floor and give them to her mum, or open lids on things – she loves that! Kari made the biggest ever birthday cake, and some of the team here at QVC enjoyed it afterwards! Then off for a pub lunch once most of Blake\u2019s tiny friends had left, for a very civilized Sunday dinner in Fulham. Nice way to spend the day! Can\u2019t believe she\u2019s two already\u2026 (Stand by for years of me annually saying exactly the same about every single age milestone!!) I bought her a scooter and she loved it and almost scooted by herself straight away. Lovely precious times, right?<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Going bananas and bloopers<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

You know when you put so much in your pockets that it completely weighs down your top? It was for Glenn Campbell\u2019s show coming up next. He was with me for both Isaac Mizrahi Live<\/a><\/strong> and Denim & Co.<\/a><\/strong> specials this week, and a lot of fun it was too. He always says don\u2019t put too much in your pockets, and I inevitably do! So I thought this would make him laugh! “Is that a banana in your pocket, or\u2026!”<\/p>\n

Also look at this little blooper video where Glenn lost it at one point – such fun! Always good to be on with him. If you get to read this early enough, join us for Friday<\/strong> evening Fashion. I\u2019m on ’til 7pm, including 6pm on Style and 5pm on main channel while Julia is on her hols!<\/p>\n
