This is a wonderful prize with which I'm proud to be associated. Melissa Nathan was a brilliantly talented writer of comedy romances, such as The Nanny, till she died tragically young at 37 of cancer.

Her husband, Andrew, set up this award in her memory and I've been a judge since it began. It celebrates funny, romantic books, so obviously is a prize dear to my heart.

The winner this year was Moonlight in Odessa by Janet Skeslien Charles, which is a fantastically quirky, wry and funny story with some great characters. I highly recommend it. 

Here I am on stage, talking about Love Letters by Katie Fforde, which was also shortlisted. The other judges are (L to R) Liza Tarbuck, Jo Brand, Joanna Trollope and Morwenna Banks, who are all fabulous women and make the whole experience an absolute pleasure. 

If you'd like to know any more about the prize or the foundation in Melissa's memory, please go to melissanathan.com.

See you again soon!

Me and Rex

For every season, for every purpose, for every life event... there is a reason to shop.

Having our new baby Rex gave me an excuse to buy the object of desire I'd been secretly hankering after for all my other babies: a great big, old-fashioned pram. It's totally impractical and doesn't even fold up... but I don't care! I love it!

And as if to prove what a great choice I'd made, the day it arrived, 
so did the Greek edition of Shopaholic & Baby (see below).

What should be pictured on the front cover, but the exact same pram! Great minds think alike!

So if you catch sight of me strolling around London with my great big 
fabulous pram, PLEASE feel free to come up and say hello. Meanwhile 

I'll see you back on here soon!
