~ Questions ... Mothers, Daughters, Sons, Friends ...

Hi everyone, hey, don't forget to send in your questions ...

You seem the problem is, when I get asked in the pub / cafe / restaurant / gym / department store / queue for easyjet [not speed borders though] / doctors / dentist / jog around the park / gig / ... I tend to forget by the next morning.

You can Tag Questions to Topics: Use the Box or Email me: gmhesketh@googlemail.com

Oh ... was thinking ... appreciate it's a tad annoying - but if you get a nano-mo, click the Follow button - it's comforting ~ helps to make me feel better ~ less alone ~ and most of all, resist the chocolate ...

Looking forward to your questions,

Jill

Recouperation ...

Okay so I've not been quite honest with you all ... I am still recouperating ... and this is part of my excuse for finding myself on youtube watching talking cats, funny cats, cats who think they are dogs, dogs who think they're married to cats, cats with missing ears, singing cats, singing cat owners, massaging cats, [not interested if their owners are tho] ...

I wouldn't even mind, but I don't even own a cat ~ hoping Charly doesn't get jealous ...

In Vogue ...

Just saw this on Vogue.com :

'HOT TOPICS: While many of the guests were held up by the student riots, Little Boots arrived on time with her Lulu Guinness bag-loving mother as her date.

The Glitter Photo Booth was a hit with guests wanting to pose with their favourite bags. Helena Bonham Carter loved the Paloma clutch so much that she's wearing tonight for the red carpet premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.'

Chuckling to myself,
Jill

Question : My boyfriend wants a ski holiday - I want a sun holiday ... How can we resolve this?

Argghhh ... Can't believe I typed out lots of ideas and missed hitting the 'publish post button'

Apologies ...

Will re-do first thing tomorrow ... falling asleep sitting up.

What else have we been doing in Londinium ...

This !!!

Afternoon tea in Liberty's ... sure it's an all-day afternoon tea extravaganza.

Why not ? ... When you're shopped out ~ it's either this or champagne, surely !

I'd forgotten tea was made up from chopped leaves ...

Watch out Libertys ~ Fenwicks are on your heels with REAL SILVER tea pots, milk jugs, chubby sugar bowls with feet and tiny silver pots to hold your personal tea strainer. Wow !

Photos to follow ... camera - lights - action ... now where did I leave that camera lead?

Hi Everyone ... Thought I'd show you what I've been up to this week ... other than the usual ...

A journey to Londinium ... invitation only ...

Thanks to daughter [wearing muted lime green chiffon, purple Lulu lips bag ~ and not in distress], my friend for accompanying me and Lulu as in Guinness, renowned British Fashion Designer of mainly the things we girls [and ladies] all like ~ handbags of course, I attended the launch of Lulu's [yes, we're on first name terms already ~ okay, so Lulu may have forgotten mine] beautifully designed 'Fan Bag' ... no funny comments please ... this is Serious Style.

The launch for the new Rob Ryan [papercut and screenprint artist] for Lulu Guinness fan clutch bag [centre photo] was held at the Air Gallery, London. OOoeee ... Amongst the handsome tanned young men in tight white, topping up the tall champagne flutes ... ooeee ... I noticed Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Burton, Paloma Faith, Erin O'Connor, Lulu and Little Boots ... not bad for someone who doesn't even watch Corrie [Ouch].

Lulu's fan clutches, as the lips clutches and many of her unusual designs, have become iconic and the re-launch of the fan style has caused a buzz in the fashion world, so I hear.

The Rob Ryan for Lulu Guinness fan clutch currently being auctioned on eBay for 'African Solutions to African Problems' ASAP is a one-off piece. The bag is signed by Lulu and Rob ... Yep, only one of these in the world, so get bidding ... BTW, I noticed the bidding is already up to £830.

Style, great music, champagne, a splattering of celebs and a few photographers to make everyone feel important [including me, although no-one seemed to want a piccy] ... Not a hot-pot in sight. A simply a wonderful evening ... ahhh ...

More photos to follow ... does anyone know where I put the camera connection ?

A Little Music for a change ...

For Mums and Daughters ... [well everyone really] ...

Was wondering what to blog today ... Couldn't get inspired for writing my novel [yet again] so had a whirl around the internet in general, twitter, facebook and came across this 6 Music clip I'd not seen for ages ...

A 'Little' bit of music with Gary Numan ...
