It’s the Easter Holidays! Or as I like to call it, that time when I spend the mornings trying to get my teenagers out of bed, the afternoon driving them around and any time in between checking they haven’t discovered this year’s hiding place for the Easter eggs.

It’s been a while. How are you? Yes, me too. Always tired. Could be my age, kids, work, hormones – take your pick.

First of all, happy new year! And just like that, it’s 2022. Now, as you know I don’t do Dry January for a number of reasons.

Well, what a week. On Friday I popped up on This Morning to talk & taste homemade festive drinks and halfway through Gary Barlow walked onto the set and ended up tasting my Christmas Pudding Rum (click here to see what he made of it).

Week *insert number* of the holidays (literally, no idea) and given the weather we’re currently breaking personal bests on screen time in this house.
As you might have gathered (I might have mentioned it?) my new book In Just One Day is out on Thursday this week and to celebrate we’ve got an exclusive taster pack of wines to sip and savour as you read the book!
Years ago, I went to a well known department store to buy a new camera. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted but knew what I needed, if you know what I mean.
I have news! No, not pregnant. Don’t be ridiculous. It’s about my next book which, come to think of it, has felt a bit like my baby for the last year.
The weather’s (mostly) still rubbish but I’m all about finding the small joys. Specifically, having something lovely in my glass at the end of the day.
Last Saturday was National Rosé Day but given the recent news on lockdown restrictions I’m thinking we just extend it. At least until the 19th July, anyway.
And just like that half term is on the horizon. To be honest I’m not sure what month/week/day it is half the time anymore.
As you know, I spend a lot of time tasting wine. (Yes, I know. My job is ridiculous). But over the next few weeks I’ll be tasting more wines than usual.
Much as I love chocolate at Easter I’m more about the wines on the table, tbh. And this year it looks like we’ll be able to finally get together in the garden with people other than the ones we live with!
There are daffodils in the garden and we even had a brief spell of sunshine for about three minutes a few weeks ago so, obviously, it’s time to talk rosé.
