So, on Saturday I'm moving to a lovely house in Chiswick, west London. This is very exciting, but also a little scary. Eep. And from Tuesday, I'm a full-time nanny! I can't believe it, really, everything's happened quite fast! But yes, I will try and update when I get started and share a bit of my new life - within the bounds of confidentiality, of ( Read more... )

So, today Adam and I celebrated one year of being engaged!! I got breakfast in bed, plus Adam took the day off work and we went shopping, and this evening Adam took me to dinner at a restaurant in a really sweet little village just outside Huddersfield. Really fantastic food (I'm now very full), and then on the way back we stopped off at a swing ( Read more... )

So, now I really have finished Norland! Can't believe it, that two years went by so very fast. It's been a really crazy time, with very huge ups and downs - and not much in between!

Am feeling particularly upbeat and wanted to share!

I'M GOING TO SWITZERLAND!

NO REALLY!!!!!!!!!!

All expenses paid, weekend in January, looking after children at a big charity event. The charity? Formula, started by Jacques Villeneuve and Craig Pollock, and F1 drivers will be there! Apparently we might be able to go to the party on the Saturday night.

Norland rocks my socks! :-)

So as usual, it's a long time since I posted! This is odd, I can remember when I used to post very frequently. Well anyway, I had a specific reason for posting today ( Read more... )

Hallo! It is 20.46 on a Saturday and I am sat in my living room making tropical birds out of Fimo modelling clay. Yerss. . . Well they're for my book with props, which is a story about a tiger called Augustus who loses his smile and goes looking for it, and finds that the world is a beautiful place that makes him smile. I love it! I'll be ( Read more... )
