A friend said she’d been to an auction house in Liverpool where they were filming Cash in the Attic. Not one to be outdone, I went along today with my husband in tow. Again they were filming Cash in the Attic and I was chatting (as you do) to Angela Rippon. The saleroom was cold [...]

Today I made gingerbread. I was tempted at one stage to take a photo of the mess that was all over the kitchen work surface. I never make biscuits because of past failures but I thought with Hallowe’en approaching I’d make some gingerbread men. I didn’t have a cutter so had to treck round Tesco’s [...]

  We’ve (ok, I’ve) booked tickets for Keane and because every time I see them, I want to see them again, I’ve booked twice – once for the MEN and once for the Liverpool Arena. I’m just listening to their new album and can’t wait till it’s out on Monday. I’ve also just booked for Coldplay [...]

There’s a new (well, it opened in March apparently, but it’s new to me) Barton Grange  garden centre at Brock, to the north of Preston and I reckon it’s the best in the North West. Every year I rant and rave about Christmas decorations going up too early but the selection of decorations at this [...]
