Thurday was a 5 am start to Glasgow airport, followed by the Stansted Express into London, a quick ride on a tube train to drop off my case at the gorgeous Charing Cross Hotel, then another ride on the tube to Richmond to reach..........
Mills and Boon Headquarters |
I was obviously in mid flow here! |
Next it was off to a lovely restaurant with my editor called Rock and Rose. Very opulent!
There might have been cocktails......and wine......and lovely food......and then coffee and dessert. But my lips are sealed!
Then it was a mad dash back to my hotel, then onto Waterstones in Piccadily for 5 o'clock as that's where the RNA members were meeting.
Talli Roland, Denyse King, me and Nina Harrington, who isn't paying attention! |

And whilst the shoes were beautiful, by this point my feet had died. The lovely Anna Louise Lucia volunteered her silver sandals - well, actually I borrowed them as we walked back to the hotel.

At this point I had to don my shoes again and walk back to Charing Cross with Fiona, except we took the scenic route. I could show you a photo of my feet but it isn't pretty!
And so I finished my visit to London the following morning by visiting my new nephew Oliver, who was born over a month ago and this was my first chance to see him. Needless to say, he is gorgeous!
Oh it looks so much fun and I can't wait to see your videos :)
ReplyDeleteHi Susan!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your pictures! Looks like you had a fabulous time. (Love the shoes!) Please make sure to post when your Love Bites come out. Very exciting. Flo has a thick accent and I'm able to understand most of what she says so I'm guessing I'll understand you, too!!! It will be fun to hear your accent since, so far, all our communications have been over the Internet and when I read your e-mails/tweets/posts you sound just like me!!!!!
Thanks rach, my interview should be up n the next few weeks to publicise the medical fast-track for harlequin. Just hoping it doesn't require subtitles!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, here's hoping you understand what I'm saying. Had great fun but am absolutely knackered!
ReplyDeleteFab post! I love all the pics, and get you with your boozy lunches with your editor!
ReplyDeleteEveryone looked ace, and your shoes... omg. Fabulous.
It must have been very exciting to go to M&B HQ, looking forward to seeing the video's when they are released.
Happy days!
Jo

ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, thanks very much, just hoping the videos don't need subtitles!!!!
ReplyDeleteHeard things are going well for you too, loved your authonomy chapter xx
Hi Talli,
ReplyDeletemy feet were killing me! I actually "borrowed" Anna Louise Lucia's silver shoes to walk back in.
You don't want to know how many plasters I am currently sporting. Loved your orange shoes!
Looks like you had a fab time. :0) And the wee one's just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the video.
It looks like it was a lot of fun! I love your outfits, but I have a soft spot for your shoes. i would have been staring at your feet all night lol.
ReplyDeleteOliver is such a cutie, and I can't wait to see his aunt's video!
Hi Suzanne!
ReplyDeleteKind of terrified about the video. Expecting to see it rear its head sometime in the next week to publicise the medical fast track.
GULP!
Lacey,
ReplyDeletethe shoes are gorgeous, just not designed for walking in. the lovely glitter on them is really coarse and the edge of the rainbow starburst coincided with the edge of my foot. OUCH!
