That woman is tooooo old to be "Cutesy" ......she just looks sad.
There is nothing better than being comfortable in your own skin. Doing the best with what you have in regards to appearance. No need to impress anyone. She doesn’t have any idea what that’s like. Constantly twisting and turning, lying and cheating her way through life. Poor, pitiful Fanny. NOT!!!

Well I for one do believe what they say, and they are entitled to keep their health private, we all are, no matter our 'job', nobody knew the Queen had cancer... You clearly don't like them, that's fine. There is no 'one way' to handle any situation, they're doing the best they can with children involved, which Charles hasn't had to consider.. The Easter break in the UK is a long one and they have time to spend and make sure the children feel safe and their Mother is going to be fine. I commend them. She may die, nobody knows how things will end with cancer, they're doing the best they can for their family.

Selling up bought that Chateau furnished. Also the son of the previous owner is staying on to help with renovations. Some of the Chateau is totally finished other parts need doing. And Denise is a stunner and so put together, also spent 7k to bring their dog over and just adopted a rescue dog. Sadly they sold their horses, but plan to get more, maybe they could rescue some legends like the Moons.

Smeg stands for Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla… it sounds weird as a brand name in some parts of the world but it relates to their Italian heritage.

Smeg became quite huge around here. We have a black smeg toaster and a black water boiler. The toaster is not good but we bought after the water boiler which is very good, bought it a long time ago, when I was looking for a metallic water boiler to replace one made of plastic. Recently my husband wanted to buy their coffee maker as well, as our old one broke, but I said no. I’m not impressed by their small appliances. We went another direction.

i am a little bit tired of their retro design pieces, but their line of more contemporary designs, ovens and stoves specially, look really beautiful.

Been a long time since I posted BUT scrolling through my phone came across this photo from 2 years ago and thought I'd check the current status. Amazing to think subscribers have massively increased but income as practically remained the same.
Hi there, nice to see you back.
Just to let you know that a while ago Patreon introduced a scheme to allow their creators like SJ to have 'non-paying' members. These members are added to the total of subscribers who pay, with the effect that creators seem more popular.
The actual number of paying members as at yesterday was 3830 (you can get accurate info from Graphtreon).

Camilla is Iago from Shakespeares Othello.
It's argued Iago is not malicious, just evil. "Motiveless malignancy" is the classic English major's phrase used to describe him.
The Parker Bowles is malicious and has an agenda.
Right now, I think it's keeping the Princess Royal, who has 50 years of experience performing royal duties at a rate four times annually what Camilla performs*, out of the limelight. Princess Anne really should be king, as Camilla (and all the rest of us) knows, and it will be a cold day in hell before Camilla invites Anne to help stand in for the king.

*For decades, Anne has outperformed Charles as well in the number of royal appearances she makes annually.

So, they went all the way to France to use the dump and its hideous rooms as location for their spring collection? Who would pick that dirty corner, with peeling wall, a horrible shelf with plain white books and some of the ugliest candlestick holders to showcase that ugly lilac kimono? Insane.

If they have used any English cottage or English public garden as location, that would have looked a million years better…
