monday 23rd June

A fab weekend, if exhausting. the ABM was great and I bumped into two midwives who helped me give birth to two of my kids ! On to a churches conference in Kent and Sunday at the NCT conference. A huge event with such a great informed crowd.

Today I met the lovely Rajasana from Lifescape mag, you''l be hearing lots more about that fab publication as I'm going to be writing for them.

We're finally having our vile carpet removed - man alive the kids were impressed by the industrial sander and I was hugely impressed at how beautiful the wood is when all the layers of crap have been removed ! Yippee - it will only be a matter of days till I can lay down my fab turkish rug, (bought at Yurdoncarpets in Gochek turkey) - ye I really did go to Turkey anb came back with a carpet...

Tues 17th

Yet more eons have gone by and I've barely paused for breath. Have I told you about the Dutch Nursery event ? it wetn great, such an informed audience. Last weekend was great too, I was speaking at the Babygroe conference in Chester and finally got to meet the lovley Brigit Strawbridge from its not easy being green fame, watch this space for details of her latest project.

Sat I was speaking at the Allergy show and aside from almost having a fight with a guy who was trying to convince me that his 99 per cent liquid parrafin product was the bees knees for dry skin and excema (????) it was a great event and we sold out of books.

We raced out of there over to Heathrow to catch the end of the fab Juicy seminar with Jason Vale, man alive he can talk as much as me...hes brilliant and it must have been an awesome day of juicy info.

This thursday I'm doing an event for an Ovarian Cancer charity and then off to see my boys play in their rock school concert (earplugs will be needed) and this weekend theres events at the Association of breastfeeding mothers, the churches conference in Kent and the National Childbirth Trust conference in Coventry...

Crikey I feel exhausted just thinking about it...

Fri 30th

Yippee Imperfectly Natural Home has been well and truly launched ! Go buy it ! Or wait till monday when I'm on The Wright stuff (10am on the channel 5 sofa) and buy it on Amazon after that - don't forget to leave a fab review too !

We had an excellent launch party at the BBc club, so many lovely people, its always tricky making sure you introduce people to other people if you get my drift but everyone had a good time - our goody bags though I say so myself were the best in town with everything from skincare goodies from Neals Yard remedies, Green people, Purenuffstuff, coconoil to name a few, some eatables from Honeyrose (fab organic choccy thingys) and cereals from rude Health...oh a ton of stuff.....The eminent Roger Coghill was holding court (he is so fascinating) and all my friends were queuing up to meet Frank Partridge who used to be on Sky TV and all the guys were queuing to say hi to Mari Wilson and yes...we are going to reunite, I'm going to sing BV's for her London gig in the autumn, will have to dust down my 50's frock.

I'm presenting the Green Awards in November and the guys were there, I did my best PR work and introduced them to the guy from Worldnakedbikeride which does exactly whats its name suggests - Gaby who works with me seemed very interested in the concept so watch this space !!!

Enjoy the new book and if you aren't already signed up join our fab freindly forum.

Sat 17th

Back at work this week which has been fun, you cna imagine Steve reaction to my juice retreat ! Lots of very intrigued listeners though, Jason is gonna be inundated !

Got my hands on the new book, very exiting and right now I'm in cornwall at the Truro farmers market 10th celebrations, staying in Falmout at St Michaels hotel and spa - man alive its fantastic - faultless actually, I had an amazing treamtent, a cornish honey body wrap and then pottered around the vintage shops and a great shop called seikyerbooty selling ethnic and fairtrade clothes. Last night I attended the opening cermeony in Truro, sadly after all this great weather its torrential rain but hey ho !

I've jsut done an interview with BBC radio cornwall, the lovely Tim Hubbard and v. soon we're off to formally open the market, there'll be celeb chefs from cornwall, and a veritable array of fish, cheese, meat and veg, sadly I'm catching a train later so can't carry a stash home !

As you can tell I'm feeling very 'content' to be back in Cornwall......one day....I'll get to live here...

Sun 11th May

Well I'm still motivated after my wondrous retreat, I've been juicing every single day and getting the kids at it, best of all I'm up at least 45 mins earleir than I used to drag myself up, and go for a walk (can't quite manage running - more of a fartlek approach)

I've done a couple of tai chi classes which have been great and almost made the yoga class today, sadly not quite as the queue to the carpark for the farmers market made me late (great excuse though, got some fab organic veg and a cute 'bug catcher' from a local community project - Earthworks.

We went to a local arts and craft fayre today, rediculously hot, spent most of the day nagging the kids to put sunhats back on but we all had fun.

In leui of the yoga I'm gonna have to put Kens dvd on and relive my memories of Turkey...

Wed April 30th

Kinda excelled myself I think with the gap between blogs but I've been manically if wonderfully busy.

I had a life changing week at my Juicing retreat in Turkey, you've heard of Jason Vale (the juicemaster) I'm sure, hes the one that helped Jordan lose 71bs in 7 days, a fair few other celebs have done his thing too but Jason is about so much more than just losing weight its the holistic picture.

I did lose half a stone so thats a bonus but also gained some sanity and perspective and did yoga and tai chi every day.

See the feature I wrote and make sure you check out Jasons book and dvd and try it at home.
juicemaster.com and tell him I sent you.

More info too about Jasons only seminar this year on the May e-zine out tomorrow...creky better get completing it....
bye for now, won't leave it so long - honest !

Mon7th

Yet more weeks fly by...I had a good time at a Ladies circle function last Saturday in Warrington and got to see my best mate on the way.

We managed a few hours beforre the snow melted yesterday and the kids had fun.

I'm back on The Wright stuff next monday and busily jacking up some fab items to make up a lovely hamper of goodies to be auctioned at the yestolife event on the 26th april

...off I go then...
