Today's the day I turn 80....... and my wonderful team made sure we celebrated with a homemade (by Francisca)cake and 8 candles (one for each year- no need to create a fire risk!).

Why on earth do supermarkets only remind you AT THE TILL about the need for food bank contributions? If they had little reminders on the shelves for pasta, tuna, tinned tomatoes, rice, etc I would donate far more than I do.
I have absolutely loved working with Sandi, she's been a brilliant host and enormous fun and I am in awe of how hard she works juggling so many different projects. We shall be lifelong friends' way beyond the tent.

Cover girl at nearly 83! If someone told me at 60 that I would be doing this and my one woman show 'Nothing in Moderation' (starting Feb 1st) I would have laughed and said 'No way' , but then again life is full of twists and turns and you just need to embrace it.
#sagamagazine
I am thrilled, delighted and very grateful. I'm not sure I deserve such a pat on the back for doing things that I've loved all my life- in business or cooking or campaigning...........

So excited to be working with
@RealMattLucas
, the combination of him and
@noelfielding11
, will we stop laughing long enough to get any filming done??!!! 🤣
A hospital meal should be a small highlight, a little pleasure and comfort, and it should help, not hinder, the patients recovery. I am thrilled to be an advisor on the Hospital Food review launched today by
@BorisJohnson
and
@MattHancock
I've never done a stage show before and at 82 I'm probably nuts to try it, but it's huge fun, makes the audience laugh and let's me rant away about the restaurant trade, publishers, TV and writing, and sing the praises of food, love and life. The 'Nothing in Moderation'...
Have you ever gone to a bag of brown sugar and found it is one solid lump? All you need to do is put the sugar in an airtight container and add an apple, lemon or orange. Leave for 24hrs and it will be soft and spoonable. Do you have any tips and tricks?

My lovely hubby can’t resist a good necklace I’m glad to say. These came from the
@royalacademy
shop. Maybe a bit much with the earrings ? Is there such a thing as too much???!!!!!
Lockdown 2.0 and the carers at our local care home needed something sweet and tasty. Today it's a Apple, pear and hazelnut crumble with vanilla custard - apples from my garden!

Dom and Mary's journey was necessary and therefore within rules. What's also necessary is not attacking a man and his family for decisions taken at a time of great stress and worry, the fear of death and concern for a child. This isn't a story for the normal political shitkickery
If your agent marks your birthday with the wherewithal to make cocktails every night for the rest of your life, you'd better get started. This is my version of a Serendipiti: fizz, orange curacao, fresh mint and ice.

Christmas dinner for two! Well, that's a first.
At least the Xmas pud flamed merrily in spite it being 50% ice cream and 50% left over Xmas cake

This Friday we made a couple of GIANT banoffee pies for the carers at our local care home. Thank you to all the fabulous carers up and down the country who continue to work and care selflessly.

Quite proud of this one. The cherry tree once graced my daughter’s wedding tent. Five years later it’s the best thing in the garden. Tulips are called Queen of the Night.

Today's review of
@NHSuk
hospital food by
@MattHancock
and
@BorisJohnson
is long overdue. It cannot be right that patients are allocated £1.49 a head for a 3 course meal and a drink. Healthy food means faster healing, happier patients and fewer bed nights. A win for everyone?
The
@OpenUniversity
is a remarkable British achievement making distance learning and part time study possible for thousands. Funding for part-time students must be reviewed so everyone has the chance to change their lives.
My Mum lived with dementia for fifteen years before she died, so I want to share this hard hitting but brilliant mini film from
@AlzResearchUK
, narrated by Olivia Colman.

Do you know this great tip? When brown sugar dries to a concrete block, put it in an airtight container with a lemon, apple or orange. In 24 hours it will be soft and spoonable.
