Mrs Potts, my adorable basset hound, will be 15 on Monday, 3rd November.
She will decide over the weekend which two charities she'll be donating £15 each to, in line with her #Pets4Pets campaign.

Mrs Potts is already preparing for Halloween, and will be dressing as The Hound of the Bassetvilles.
She is also looking forward to her 15th birthday in November, and thinking about which charities to donate her age in monetary terms to.
She's such a good little pumpkin.

Whatever the outcome of The Bank of England's consultation on the design of future banknotes, their release will provide a fantastic opportunity for a re-run of #FirstFiver that raised £12.5m - the campaign that keeps on giving.

Louis wants me to play clasical music for him on Fridays, and buy him toys from Harrods once a month. Otherwise there will be consequences.

Recalling the time I asked Hugh Grant for his autograph.
But it wasn't him.

Just arrived in our room with views of Mount Fuji, and a hot spring on the balcony.
Mind blown.

Staying overnight in a converted ancient palace that has a hot spring in the bedroom. The surrounding mountain has been lit up as a spectacular back-drop for a musical extravaganza in its garden. The downside is that I expect the Grady twins to appear at the end of its corridor.

The villa I'm staying in has a carport with an automatic gate.

This lovely cocker spaniel was watching me and some friends feeding our dogs treats at the coffee shop. This was her 'gimmee some' pitch.
How could anyone say no?

Wompy the pony was sad because he'd dropped his carrot on the other side of the fence. I picked it up and fed it to him, letting him know I'd spotted his friends trotting up the lane.
