How old are the kids you teach? sounds like they are quite young.

Yes, I am a heels girl. Love them. Bill bought me a pair of Jimmy Choos for my wedding present and they are cherished. We went to London the week before the wedding to go to Manolo Blahnik. We tracked it down, and were let in (very fancy, you have to ring the door to get in), but sadly I didn’t like any. I still stay I must have a tee shirt printed up saying ‘I went to Blahnik and sneered!’ Anyway, we went to Selfridges and found the Choo section. I tell Humbug that they are hers in years to come. She is going to be so lucky as she grows up, with all the feather boas, tiaras and crowns and handbags and shoes I have.

I do wear flats when I go out walking with The Girl, or I’d just kill my back, but when I’m home I usually slink around in heels, and I do the weekly shop in heels too, as Bill drives us. I can’t believe that when I was working in town, I used to walk to work and home again in heels, it was half an hour each way from my parents house! Nutter!

glad you enjoyed my Oscars outfit. I normally go for Oscar de la Renta and Asprey jems.

have a lovely day. Send Dave my kind regards when you see him. I hope he’s well enough to come home soon.

lots of love xxxxx
