Home Actress Andrea McLean HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers August 2023 Andrea McLean Instagram - 4 things I did this week that filled my cup and nothing to do with work. This wasn’t a ‘usual’ week as I was really sociable! I am a real home-bird and it takes a lot to get me out these days. And I don’t have a single photo as I didn’t think to take any, as we were having such a great time! 1. I met up with the wonderful Katie Taylor of @loungethelatte who is one of the nicest women ever. 2. Had an impromptu dinner with my friend Lea Anne, and her family and friends from her native Canada. We have known each other since our twenties and she makes me laugh like no other. 3. Spent Sunday afternoon with my friend Claire, who I’ve known since we worked together in a pub aged 18. We went on to share a place together in our twenties, and although our lives have gone in very different directions our friendship is just the same. I love our catch up sessions 4. And finally… we celebrated the 51st birthday of Mr F. It was a family affair, with food, cake, bubbles and out of tune singing. One of the nicest birthdays we’ve had together yet. To celebrate, and because I don’t have pictures of anything else I did this week, here are some throwback pictures taken when I cut and dyed his hair blonde because that’s the kind of daft thing we did in 2020. Happy birthday Nick, you will always be ‘Kenough’ for me. Love Barbie xx 😘 Photos all by the brilliant @nickyjohnston #4things

Andrea McLean Instagram – 4 things I did this week to fill my cup that had nothing to do with work:
1. My friend Andy popped in while passing through. He lives a long way away so we don’t see much of each other. It’s weird to think we first met at school 36 years ago – how in earth did THAT HAPPEN??!! It was nice to catch up. 
2. Mr F and I went for a long dog walk which culminated in an unplanned glass or two of rosé and dinner outside in the sunshine. I’m glad we did it as it feels like we caught the last bit of summer.
3. I chatted to my son Fin on the phone for two and a half hours. It’s been a bumpy few years while he’s been away at uni (any parents of kids who started during Covid know what I mean). We caught up on all sorts of things – films, telly, books, psychology, theology… I think we covered it all! This was a snap I sent him mid chat to show him my view of Teddy.
4. We went to Notting Hill Carnival today! Growing up in Trinidad means it’s always pretty special. We got there early, I had my curry and roti, we chipped along behind a few bands then we headed home before it got even busier. It was Amy’s first time – I was around her age when I last went to Carnival in Trinidad, which is a strange thought! This week seems to be a reminder about all the changes that have happened in my past and present… an unexpected reflection.

Andrea McLean Instagram – 4 things I did last week to fill my cup that had nothing to do with work. 
1. I went to the book launch of my friend @your_emmalucy brand new masterpiece on manifesting with crystals! Unfortunately I did not manifest staying long as I had to turn round and go straight back home as Amy got locked out the house and rang with 1% left on her phone. The few minutes I was there was lovely though, as I managed to catch up with @beckshumps – for the first time in real life! So nice. 
2. I went for a facial at @dthomasclinic and felt very looked after. It’s a new discovery since our house move – I will be back! They really know their stuff when it comes to skin. (The session was #gifted)
3. Went to the driving range with Nick and Amy. This was one of the better shots. 🤭
4. I have started reading Cultural Amnesia – Notes In The Margin Of My Time by the late Clive James. I loved him back in the 90s and noughties,and for many years he was my secret celebrity crush because he was a wonderful writer (I devoured his books and articles) smart, funny and interesting beyond measure. You might remember him from the telly, he was brilliant. I was fortunate to meet him a few times and discovered he was also quiet and pleasant to everyone (even star struck weather girls, as I was then. I also stumbled across him at a tango class at a random, nowhere fancy part of London and saw he was surprisingly light in his feet! He would have been in his early sixties then. I last met him in 2007 when I was anchoring Loose Women and he came on to promote this very book, and the embarrassment I feel now at reading it is palpable. Perhaps it’s age – I’m now in my 50s, so closer to the age Clive himself was back when I first became aware of him – but I now fully appreciate what a life’s work this book is, something I realise I didn’t when I interviewed him. Like Clive himself, it’s not an easy read. Like him, like all of us, it has its flaws. It takes concentration, but like anything that requires effort is more rewarding because of it. I’m glad I stumbled on it again after unpacking boxes following our move. It’s been a joy to rediscover it, and him.
