Spirit of Christmas, Cabbages & Roses Haul & Trinny London Night Out (Weekly Vlog)
This week I popped up to London for a full festive day: a whirl around the Spirit of Christmas Fair, followed by the launch of Torie True’s new cookbook Seven Kitchens.
Back in Sussex, it’s the usual juggle - late-night editing, soaking fruit for a last-minute cake, cooking lunch for twenty, a spontaneous mums-and-sons pub drink and family fireworks in between school runs and animals in the dark!
I also squeezed in a rare night away with Simon, complete with a quick visit to the Country Brocante at Cowdray and the most unbelievable Cabbages & Roses sale haul, plus some very pretty Christmas bits from Mrs Alice and giant wool blankets for cosy evenings at home.
There’s a proper chat about my much-loved CurrentBody LED masks and their Black Friday offer, a try-on of everything I picked up, and then another trip to London for a Trinny London event where Trinny and I talk about my book. I’m feeling quietly excited, a little bit festive, and very grateful - and I’d love you to watch the vlog and come along for the week with me!
Love, Charlie x
