Long time no blog!!!


Sorry about that but life has been manic to say the least, even without Christmas and New Year!!!

First off was Our Ben and the lovely Katies Christmas wedding.

It was a beautiful, albeit emotional, day all round. So strange to see one of your children doing something so grown up. He looked so proud and handsome, and Katie looked spectacular. My first sight of each of them turned me into a blubbering mess. The weather stayed crisp and clear, thankfully ensuring we all had a wonderful time.

Here's a few high lights.

Now I know many of you assume I live my life in glamour (he he…not!!), so here's a shot of me, the morning of the wedding.


And, as if by magic, here I am a few hours later, all scrubbed up…


Don't they make a beautiful couple.



So proud of my boy…


 The most beautiful grand daughter in the world did a fabulous job of flower girl.


Mother of the Groom flowers..


 I am waiting for the official photographs to arrive and then I will show you more.

Christmas eve saw me and The Babe of Deliciousness hotfooting it off to foreign sands. Yes, we had decided to spend the holidays in Tunisia.


We had a bungalow on the beach and just slept and journaled (ok that was just me !) all week.

I did turn into crazy cat lady…feeding all and sundry…


Even rescuing abandoned kittens from the storm…


Unfortunately, we contracted a gastric type of flu and have spent the last 5 days not venturing far from bedroom and bathroom. We look and feel like death warmed up and totally bypassed New Year and any of its celebrations.

But illness or not, CHA is fast upon us, in fact I leave in 3 days. 

And CHA means one thing…

Samples, samples and more samples…..






I am launching all new items at the show so The Resident Bit of Glamour and I have been working our fingers to the bone. I will reveal more as the week goes on.

Enjoy xx
