We stayed with my daughter Lolly and her beautiful girl Phoebe, 20 months-old, and hubby Nick. I stayed in the shepherd&#8217;s hut, and did a special extended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/305084439985449\/posts\/897577990736088\/?d=n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vlog<\/a> from inside for my regular #thursdayBantz night!<\/p>\n<p>(If you follow me on my social media, you will see these updates regularly.)<\/p>\n<p>When London was sweltering, I was in relative tolerable temperatures, 24 degrees-ish. We went to the beach on Saturday and it was overcast but warm, before it then turned much brighter in the afternoon. Blake and Phoebe loved making sandcastles, but not as much as the two daddies did, enthusiastically digging arm-wide tunnels under the sand &#8217;til their hands met!<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5fYbQU7PwXA?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n<p>Having trouble viewing this video?

I\u2019m very proud of my kids. Phoebe is so grown-up now. She wanted her fingernails trimmed and pointed to the scissors. When Lauren said no, Phoebe said &#8220;too, sharp, for, Phoebe.&#8221; Adorable at that age, aren\u2019t they?<\/p>\n<p>Blake was terribly grown-up and kept looking after little Phoebe, although they did have their share of spats. Precious times. I can&#8217;t wait until Lauren and Phoebe come to stay at the start of October for Phoebe&#8217;s second birthday, hopefully in my new place! At time of writing, everything is falling into place, so we will arrange completion either the end of August or beginning of September. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snippets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story plots&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-98839\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Story-plots.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Story-plots.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Story-plots-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Story-plots-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Story-plots-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Story-plots-1536x853.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/>\n<p>Thought this would make you smile.

But something I will take a break to watch is Knives Out. I missed it at the cinema (last year?) and now it\u2019s available online, with a stellar cast including Daniel Craig playing the inquisitive detective Blanc. It\u2019s a modern take on the classic whodunnit mystery and a tribute to people like Agatha Christie. My kids watched it and thought it was really good.<\/p>\n<p>Another film that\u2019s on Prime is Official Secrets, based on world-shaking true events. It tells the gripping story of a whistleblower in British intelligence who leaks info to the press at the time of the Iraq war. Matt Smith also stars, as does Ralph Fiennes. Really good and I\u2019ll probably watch it again!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Podcast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A special tribute this week to the lovely Michelle from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/alpha-h\/beauty\/_\/N-1z141tnZlfm0\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Alpha H<\/strong><\/a>, from Will and Tom Ogden.

Will has asked me to do the one year anniversary podcast episode, including some of the highlights! I\u2019m thrilled, as it means I get to talk about other stuff, not just me! I love his weekly insights into the world behind the faces you see on our QVC screens. You can look back on dozens <a href=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/author\/podcasts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> and they make great entertainment. I do love a good podcast. \ud83d\ude42 There are some amazing ones on Inside QVC. You guys agree as well, because they were celebrating over 50,000 downloads last week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Book of the week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, what a week it\u2019s been. I have started downloading other audiobooks I want to get into, but obviously I\u2019m not driving so much now so I\u2019m not getting through them so quickly, especially as I listen to podcasts. However, I had a splurge! I\u2019ve ordered on pre-sell several of my favourites, including the new Lee Child for November, the new Robert Galbraith for September, and the new &#8216;Tales From the Folly&#8217; by Ben Aaronovitch for the end of August.<\/p>\n<p>However, for now, I just downloaded &#8216;The Sandman&#8217;, an Audible original featuring lots of actors rather than one narrator, including Taron Egerton and James McAvoy, among others. It\u2019s a superheroes story, drawing on real world history, myths, and DC comic book characters. Following the king of dreams imprisoned on Earth until he fulfills a task and can rebuild his dominion. Michael Sheen plays the devil. Can\u2019t wait to get stuck into it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>QVC top deals for the next seven days<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday<\/strong> (today) &#8211; it&#8217;s fashion event time on both <strong>Friday<\/strong> and <strong>Saturday<\/strong> <strong>15th<\/strong>, and if they are still available, go <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/Moda-in-Pelle-Lori-Ankle-Boot.product.186600.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> to see and buy the <strong>Moda in Pelle<\/strong> Lori ankle boots with trim on three easy payments, and look out for much more fashion, including an extra shift from me doing 4pm <strong>Kim &amp; Co<\/strong> and 6pm <strong>Skechers<\/strong>, as well as three tea-time hours Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday<\/strong> &#8211; when we will be bringing you the <strong>Ruth Langsford<\/strong> jersey shirt jumpsuit in different lengths &#8211; great price as well!
