Oh, yes, we’ve been busy behind the scenes… The venue is booked, the date is fixed – And we have a dress, a band, a DJ – and even the bridesmaids dresses are in the pipeline- And, of course, there will be two very important flower girls with fresh flower coronets, ballet pumps and floating [...]

Writer’s Block

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Okay, fear not – I have the answer – Not to writer’s block exactly, but to lazy fingers – All you need is Monti’s Csardas playing in the background – and this is my clip of choice… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3fYZDqb7qw&feature=related The expressions are delicious and the music – well, that’s a whole theatrical production in itself – [...]

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Young, Hot, and Royal

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Harumph!

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Nobody loves the snow more than me – but this…? This is not pretty – this is frigid cold, freezing fog and treacherous ice. The buses have been stopped, the postie was called back to base, and anyone – on foot, or in a car, has a very dodgy time getting about. 4 weeks, already. [...]

Housekeeper at His Beck and Call

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Out in hardback this month seems to be a good time to say why I wrote this book. I had to write it. I couldn’t not write it. I saw a bedraggled girl – a little spoiled, perhaps – running away from a marriage she doesn’t want – a marriage that has somehow snowballed from [...]

The handbag habit

Monday, January 11th, 2010

It is never too soon to develop the handbag habit – To some girls it just comes naturally Others get their kicks in the wide outdoors… And, d’you know what? It really doesn’t matter what kind of girl you are, so long as you’re happy. Sxx
