Upstairs on a London bus

My favourite place to sit on a London bus is upstairs at the front. My second favourite is downstairs at the back, which is where I was today. Riding along in the bus, looking out of the window, I spotted celebrity chef Gary Rhodes walking along Oxford Street so I thought I’d blog him and add him to the growing list of celebs I’m spotting in London. Want to see who else I’ve seen? Have a look here, here and here, but only if you want to.

As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
