It’s a good job I decided to tell you about my Disney Fantasy trip in two bits, as there is tons I forgot to mention yesterday. Like our trip to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. Disney is so good at putting on these shows – the Lion King is seriously one of my favourite musicals …
Well, I’m back from my wonderful Disney trip to New York, safe, sound – and thoroughly, utterly and completely spoiled. I was with Disney PRs Nikki and Laura, Lydia from Virgin Holidays and a really lovely group of journalists. We spent many happy hours making up James Bond/food mash-up film titles (the best was ‘Fiiiiishfiiiiinger’, …
Gosh, I think the universe must have been listening when I was moaning on last week about running away to Canada. No sooner did I finish my whinge than a lovely email pinged into my inbox – inviting me to New York! Yes, my adorable Disney friends have asked me to pop along to the …
The news that some chappy has won permission to tightrope-walk his way over Niagara Falls has got me thinking. Mostly, why on earth would anyone want to do this? And also, of course, why bother?

We were talking about a newspaper report saying doctors often refuse treatment when they have a serious illness …
As it’s now so close to Valentine’s Day you can almost smell the red roses, I’ve got a lovely giveaway for you. It’s courtesy of those gorgeous big softies at eHarmony. All you have to do is hop over to their facebook page and like their competition, then leave a comment on my blog. All …
And now, for the lovely English Mum, and anyone else with a passionate interest in teapots/scams/the concept of caveat emptor, I present a series of photos of my dodgy teapot, contrasted with the genuine article. Prepare to be (mildly) outraged. And now, some photos of the genuine article. These are close-ups of a coffee pot …
For all those of you sweet enough to worry long into the night (don’t deny it, I know you have) over my Swedish Teapot Situation, here’s an update.
