Lisa: Baileeeyyyyyyys – it’s the best best best and I would like some now, please.

Trish: I'm a Baileys girl! But traditionally, it's always been eggnog (non - alcoholic).

Q: What's your most treasures Christmas gift you ever received?

Lisa: That’s a hard one… Does the engagement ring I got a week before Christmas in 2010 count? Yes, yes it does!

Trish: The flowered blanket my Mum crocheted and gave me the last Xmas before she passed. It's gorgeous and I love it!

Q: What's your fave festive song?

Lisa: So many! I love Last Christmas by Wham for it’s wonderful cheese-factor.

Trish: O Holy Night sung by Reba McEntire. Just beautiful and gives me goosebumps.

Q: What’s your fave movie to watch on Christmas Eve?

Lisa: It's A Wonderful Life - just a perfect film to curl up with the night before Christmas...

Trish: A Charlie Brown Christmas. Have watched it every year since I was tiny and it isn't Christmas without it!

Q: What Christmas book do you wish you’d written?

Lisa: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens – to me, this is the ultimate Christmas story.

Trish: The Twelve Dates of Christmas! Seriously, it's so funny and festive and cute! I adore it!!

Q: How do you like your Christmas jumpers?

Lisa: As tacky and 3D and garishly-coloured as possible, preferably with advent calendar windows sewn in and bells dangling off the arms.

Trish: On someone else... I love when other people where them but it's not something I'll ever wear! I'll wear Christmas socks and even my Muppets Merry Kissmas undies, but not ever a Christmas jumper! Bah Humbug!!

That was so much fun! Thanks so much, Lisa! The Twelve Dates of Christmas is out in PAPERBACK on 22nd October from Little Brown and I urge you to buy it! It's brilliant!!

Why I'm Shaving My Head for Lancashire Women

Hi there! I know it's been ages since I've done a personal blog post. Things have been... weird. I know the whole world has struggled getting used to this new normal and the new measures we have to follow. So many people have lost so much to COVID and my heart breaks for them. And while the virus itself hasn't changed my life very much, this time of lockdowns and self-isolating has been really hard for me too. When it all first started to change, Steve was taken into hospital with a bunch of different symptoms. COVID wasn't really a thing then, so he wasn't tested for it, but looking back, we're pretty sure that's what it was.

Blog Tour Stop and Review of The Holiday Escape by Heidi Swain

Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for The Holiday Escape by the delightful Heidi Swain! Let me preface this by saying that this is my first blog tour in a year, and the last one was for Heidi's last standalone book, The Book-Lovers Retreat! What better way to make my comeback than this??!! What They Say: Her dream holiday is his everyday life. His dream holiday is her normal life. What happens when they collide? Ally and her dad, Geoff, run the family business, a creative retreat, from their home Hollyhock Cottage in picturesque Kittiwake Cove. They give their guests their dream break, but Ally hankers after glamourous city living, fancy restaurants and art galleries. Ally’s survival strategy is to escape out of season, take a break abroad and pretend to be the person she always imagined she would be. She meets Logan while she’s away and he turns out to be exactly the kind of distraction she’s looking for. With her spirits restored, Ally returns home, picks up the reins again
