Happy Monday! Thanks for popping in! It’s a beautiful sunny day, and we’re on our way out to Brighton as soon as Gracie gets back from the hairdressers! She’ll only let my friend Carron near it, so by the time she gets home twice or thrice a year – she NEEDS a trim !!! In the meantime, Mark is out for the count upstairs. The Jetlag hits you hard when you come east from California. The fires are pretty shocking, aren’t…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Cor dearie me!! All this partying is hard work! I shall be glad to get back to work for a break! NOT. The birthday celebrations continued this morning with Breakfast at the Spa! After which we finally waved tataa to Mum and Dad. Aunty Esther and I took a slow stroll down Mount Ephraim to the Pantiles. We had no choice there, because Mark had gone off with my car keys! But the sun came…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Well, you know I said yesterday I’m rubbish at keeping secrets because of the beautiful new Designer Papers I had to show you? So not true!! I have been hanging on to this one for months! Mum’s 80th today. Coffee and Cake at our house was the plan… And I have spent days making the tea party table lovely, titivating and prettifying. I was up at 7.30 sharp this morning, started making posh sandwiches…
Hi there, Happy Friday! Thanks for popping in. Rosie is on HOCHANDA this evening, launching a rather lovely little set of Groovi Baby plates. Remember the outline stamps ? The stag? The toadstool? The bird? The candle etc etc etc? Well, we got asked by many of you to turn them into Groovi plates. So we did. They are delightful! I like that we can do that – respond to requests. Here are a couple of very Groovi samples from…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Was having a sort out this afternoon, and came across a load of old scraps I have been hanging onto – as you do! I mean, honestly? This old shaving foam scrap! I mean, who in their right mind saves this? But hang on! If I squint at it for a while, I start to see more. Do you? Go on, squint… Ok. Let me help you. Now can you see the valley? Alright….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Been going like the clappers today – Have ticked a load of boxes! Got up really early and came into the office in the dark. Decided to power through some TV proposals and play catch up. On the way into work, I was listening to the radio. The DJ was going on and on and on about nothing in particular, talking a load of rubbish really. I could feel myself gradually getting wound up,…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping by. Just got home after a thoroughly lovely few days with Mum. The Five Arrows Hotel at Waddesdon was the perfect retreat, and the service was second to none. If you ever fancy a really lovely weekend away, book yourself in there – and enjoy Waddesdon Manor. So after stepping away from work for a few days, it’s back on the Clarity trail! Tomorrow Maria will be back on your screens, after their honeymoon in…
Hi there!Thanks for joining us on our little trip to Buckinghamshire. Popped in to see an old mate, but he was out. Roffy, we used to call him, as in Rothschild. His bedroom was top right at the back – the box room. But the view of the back garden was nice. His parents used to go spare if we forgot to take our shoes off at the kitchen door, and sleepovers were a bit stiff. I mean, I was…
Hi there. Thanks for joining Mum and myself here in Buckinghamshire. All set for a day of culture at Waddesdon Manor. perhaps a drive into Oxford. But the fact is, it doesn’t really matter where we go, as long as we’re hanging out together. We have been talking talking talking since we got together on Friday afternoon! Mum and Dad’s house is like a safe haven. They know me warts and all, where I’ve been, what I’ve done and not…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in! Well, this is the life I must say! While the Clarity Crew slogged their socks off up in Port Sunlight…. Barb and Mum took a drive around the orbital to Buckinghamshire and booked into a very pleasant little place in Waddesdon. Modest gaff…. Actually, we’re in the converted stables next door, which are very nice too – wouldn’t want you thinking we are spending all the company’s hard earned cash. Not much anyway! So…
