girlyswot1. What made you smile this week?
Art class started again this morning so that always makes me smile.
2. What ingredients make a perfect Saturday?
My best Saturdays are the ones with nothing in the diary, and no people that I have to talk to. Then for a truly perfect Saturday, I would have done the housework on Friday, but usually I do spend an hour or so cleaning and washing up on Saturday morning. Otherwise, I would spend the time in the craft hut, sewing or painting. It would be sunny and warm, so I might do a little light gardening, and also just some sitting outside reading. If I felt like it I would go and visit somewhere fun like an art exhibition or a lovely garden, and stop for a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake. And then, obviously, for the PERFECT Saturday, I would then meet up with my professional dance partner for our performance on Strictly...
3. What is the best thing you ever had for dessert? Share the memory or the recipe.
There are very few desserts I haven't enjoyed. I can't think of one that stands out as particularly special.
4. What is your favorite memory of your mom, or your favorite thing about being a mom?
Taking her shopping for an outfit for her to wear at my brother's wedding was a good memory. We had some good conversations about why she has such hang-ups about her appearance and then the personal shopper brought some beautiful clothes for her to try on. She cried, 'because she didn't think she deserved to wear things like that' and then tried everything on and bought the best things which really looked fabulous on her. I was glad to have done that for her.
5. What are your plans for the summer?
I'm not taking any annual leave in July or August, but I am going on holiday at the very end of August for a week with some of my art group and alsoalithea . We are going to a villa in Portugal to do a printmaking workshop. I have high hopes for this!
