Incidentally, I have just been nominated for the Most Homely Housewife in Britain Award. The nominator said they especially liked my cupcakes and my floral print antimacassars and the way my house was always spotless and smells of freshly baked bread and rose petals. How chuffed am I? It's an honour just to be nominated but of course I would really like to win - I think homemaking is such an important skill. Can't wait to talk about the award at my next dinner party...
