You know I said doing Mastermind was the scariest thing I’ve ever done? I take it back. Turns out The Weakest Link is way more terrifying. So much so I forgot to listen to the first question. Still, it was such a fabulous experience and I loved meeting the other guests and of course brilliant host Romesh Ranganathan. Watch here to see what total brain freeze on national television looks like (also Charlotte Crosby is TV gold in this episode).
In other news, I’m thrilled to tell you my fourth fiction book is being published on 13th February. Called The Island of Dreams, it’s set on a beautiful Greek island for the most part and as ever there’s a fair bit of wine involved. In fact, if you pre-order a copy you could win a 1-2-1 online wine tasting with yours truly* (and I would be eternally grateful, obvs). Order here.
Finally, I’m sure it won’t surprise you to know I’m not doing Dry January (little and often rather than all or nothing feels like a healthier approach IMHO) but I have got a particularly good non-alcoholic wine for you this week. I popped it on Saturday Kitchen at the weekend and even Jason Donovan agreed it’s better than most…

If you haven’t tried Domaine de la Tourmaline Muscadet from Majestic it is well worth a try, At several dinner parties no-one has guess what it was and everyone loved it.
Hope all well and hope mum doing well, give her my regards.
