Shooting took two days and there was a whole team here, sound recordists, cameraman, director, etc, and through the prog I got to know the producer and when she wanted somewhere quiet to interview someone from our local zoo (a totally different prog) she phoned to ask if they might use our sitting room for the interview, and so part of our sitting room was again on TV, which I thought a bit surreal! <br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-43555361726383917772014-12-19T09:01:28.113+00:002014-12-19T09:01:28.113+00:00Thanks - have sent for samples..Thanks - have sent for samples..artistfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699911696263583824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-64367333648192458982014-12-18T21:43:29.950+00:002014-12-18T21:43:29.950+00:00They didn't really take the flowers and cake a...They didn't really take the flowers and cake away afterwards , did they ?

I will be on the lookout for any publicity about this upcoming Katie Fforde book. I have read some of her earlier books. The plots are similar but the setting varies, from Chelsea Garden Show, to interior decorating, to other pursuits that challenge the femail lead player. And ... surprise, there is a handsome man in that plot too.<br /><br />Right now, my tiny windowless kitchen is reaching a very high temperature as I bake tray after tray of star shaped, red/green sugar dusted cookies. I am about halfway done. Hoping to finish before 11 pm.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630924445657816001.post-52097933963712839572014-12-18T00:54:25.067+00:002014-12-18T00:54:25.067+00:00I have a blue and white checkered lunch cloth very...I have a blue and white checkered lunch cloth very similar to the one in the photo.

My favourite in this genre is Catherine Alliott who does it so well and makes me laugh. Of course, the ultimate romantic novelist, never beaten, has to be Georgette Heyer.
