"Monaco, baby. Yeah!"

The immortal words of Jenson Button as he stormed home to win the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday. It was a double whammy for me, not only because I'm supporting Jenson like crazy, but because Monte Carlo is one of my favourite places in the world. It's inspired the setting for some of my stories, not to mention heroes ;)

After a pretty much faultless race, Jenson's only mistake came after the chequered flag when he parked his car in the wrong place. It was a testament to how fit F1 drivers need to be that he was able to run back to the winner's podium, barely breaking a sweat. Ah, bless him.

Happy St George's Day

It also happens to be Shakespeare's birthday ... what better way to celebrate St George's Day than linking it with a celebration of this great English writer?

There's loads going on to celebrate Will's birthday - check out what's happening at The Globe and also at Stratford-upon-Avon. I used to live near Stratford - such a beautiful, beautiful part of the world and so steeped in history it's almost magical. Oh, to be in England now that spring is well and truly here...and a young man's fancy turns to love (well, I'm sure Will wouldn't mind a bit of Alfred Lord Tennyson in his post).

New Cover!

Look at the great new cover for No Strings Neighbor to be released by The Wild Rose Press in November 2009! Isn't it fab? Angela Anderson does gorgeous work.

Save money and help the planet...

Haven't tried one yet? Why not start with one of mine?

Snow continues to hammer poor old blighty ... but,

... as Will Young told us on BBC's Question Time last night "it's not the end of the world". According to Will we should have more fun in the snow. Apparently, £3 billion has been lost in productivity in the last five days, plus we're running out of essential salt/grit. But hey, let's focus on the fun. Why even human rights campaigner, Shami Chakrabarti, confessed she had fun making a snowman with her six-year-old.

So, there you have it. We should all just stop worrying, go out and have fun, build a snowman or two. Now, why didn't I think of that? Probably because I've spent the past week worrying about my hubby who starts work at 4am and drives through the snow and ice all day doing essential deliveries so people like Will Young can continue to play with his snowballs.
