The hardest part was the secrecy and the funniest part was when people would claim to have spoken to Ed on the phone!!

y sister Kirstie and I went along to Event City for the Show’s
celebrity launch, which was an adventure in itself! A sold out show, plus pre-Christmas traffic heading to the Trafford Centre, all during the morning rush hour, saw my taxi driver doing a 3 point turn in stand-still traffic so I could walk the rest of the way in the rain, boo :-( It was around this time that Kirstie text me from the front of the building. “It’s snowing!!!” It was indeed snowing because Event City had been turned into a Winter wonderland. The show was loosely split into two sections, food and home and was jam packed full of ideas. From cosmetics, massaging cushions and retro rings to hot tubs, cider making kits and scented fir cones. There were plenty of demonstrations to watch. The crowds were so dense that we could barely see Gino di Campo, but we did get a little closer to Laurence Llewellyn Bowen! Yes that’s me decorating a tree in November. And a very nice one it was too, even if I do say so myself! Laurence had four of us from the crowd each decorate a tree. Which colour theme is your favourite? **psssst Mine was the one in the bottom right **

After our meal we had just enough room left to taste some delicious cheeses (and ciders and liquors and …) and then had a good strong lie down on a water bed that I now want to buy so very, very much.
