Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Just got to the hotel after a very full on day. Went very well, and I am looking forward to tomorrow. But I haven’t eaten yet, and it’s already gone 10. Then to add to my chaos, I had a right blast of blood to the head, when both BOTH Bank cards got rejected at the hotel reception. Talk about head goes straight to the disaster zone!!! But it’s fine. After a lovely chat…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Whilst Dave, Paul, Maria, Heather and Len pedal away in Port Sunlight today, I am here with Romeo, eating chocolates and watching the box. And if you believe that, you know me little. I’ve been TV prepping for what seems like foreeeeeever, have got just about every pot, pan and spoon out of the cupboard, and I STILL haven’t got anything for the last hour! Mind you, I reckon by then I shall be…

Look below. See how you can inject blueness by simply laying a sheet of blue parchment…

Paul and Dave are off up to Port Sunlight tomorrow, to hook up with Heather, Len and Maria for another very, very busy little one-day event. I am staying back, to get ready for TV Sunday and Monday. To be honest I need a little…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Tuesday’s blog is usually inky, isn’t it? Well we did look at a fab colour blend yesterday, with Oh Joy! So you can always scroll back if you need an inky fix. Instead today, I want to blog a special card for a special occasion. 27th September is a big day in our home; it’s my parents’ wedding anniversary! Mum loves fuchsias too…. So Jayne’s fuchsias are just perfect…. 58 years ago today, they…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in today. Oh Joy?? Oh boy!! Am I pooped today! Tried to have a day off and couldn’t even rustle up the energy to buy anything at John Lewis!

(If you missed any of the shows, you can watch again on catchup via…
