This ol’ jug looked tired so I gave him a red and green makeover. It’s the #decoupage version of wearing a Xmas jumper. 😁

A lady from Hong Kong wanted to tell me how interesting she found 'According to Eve' as someone who hadn't been raised here.
She doesn't use Amazon. By the time my hair was done, she had written this. How lovely!

Do you want to see my latest review? It’s possibly a tad over the top.
Of course you do, you might want to buy According to Eve for your Granny. She’s so hard to buy for, it’d be an easy win. 😁

Well this was a surprise. A guy I haven't spoken to for years liked my my recent radio interview so he decided to animate it! So if you missed me talking about finding Mum's diaries, you can catch up :-)

There's an interview about finding Mum's diaries/According to Eve going out on BBC Radio Oxford at 11.40am on Easter Monday.
It includes more details about what happened between Eve and Fred that I've discovered since writing the book. I'd love it if someone listened! :-)

In According to Eve, it's not exactly clear why Eve and Fred broke up. In this radio interview (from BBC Radio Oxford) you'll discover what I've learnt since. It's being repeated on Easter Monday.

Had an outrageous review for According to Eve. Now everyone will think it’s a Jilly Cooper novel!

Remember the oldest pic in According to Eve from 1947? It's of a gang of 15 yr olds taken in Rochester Castle Gardens. It's the oldest pic we have of Eve (on the left) with Fred (3rd from the right - didn't he grow up handsomely?).
A guy has colourised it - fab job!

One minor leap of faith accomplished -
I’ve taken some space at The Crafter’s Collective in Parsons St, Banbury, a lovely shop with hundreds of unique items- and of course you can see my work up close 😁
They are open Weds - Sat.
