A day filled with joy, creativity, colour and…. rain! Loved going with my great friend Rendah Beshoori @ren2852 to see what has been conjured at the #chelseaflowershow – it was a feast for the eyes from the moment we left the tube station at Sloane Square before even getting into the show… and then the heavens opened and never stopped. And despite both wearing cream that was far from cream by the end of the day 😜 – we happily ploughed on. A friendship formed at the school gate, we’ve dealt with worse weather and there were no 6 year-old boys to manage. Huge thanks to all of the gardeners, designers, nurseries and everyone else in putting on such a fabulous show. As someone who knows little about plants and flowers, but would like to learn more, it was also a beautiful education. And I met a few of our @bbcradio4 @bbctodayprogramme listeners too. An extra bonus. Such great fun to see @clare_meandem – aka the (Northern) powerhouse behind @me_andem after taking her amazing British brand to NYC. We had a great chat about all things Manchester and Saddleworth, from whence we hail, and the brilliance of trousers with side zips that don’t cause tummy pressure (although the ones I am wearing have a frontal zip but are loose enough). This is not an ad. I’ve shopped at hers for years and my endo-ridden body is grateful for her design prowess! Now I’ve finished wringing out my sodden trousers from said rain – I wanted to share some snaps. Including us taking shelter in a stunning summer house (no, me neither until I asked) that I have mentally moved into but sadly didn’t take home on the tube. 🚇 #rhschelsea #gardens #rhschelseaflowershow #rain #beauty #femaledesign #trousers #women #flowers #plant 🌱 🪴 🌹 🌺 🌱

Today on Today…. The morning after that announcement. It’s on. The General Election. We are ready. Are you? Thank you for joining us as we criss-crossed our way across the UK and spoke to senior members and leaders of most of the major political parties. Seeing what their representatives have to offer you, the voters, as the country prepares to go to the polls on July 4th. It was also my 4th shift on @bbctodayprogramme (casual news agenda) and my first with this guy- @nickrobinsonbbc – who interviewed Rishi Sunak. Listen back if you fancy on @bbcsounds👂via @bbcradio4 I’m off for some chippy chips. 🍟 #generalelection #election #morningcrew #r4today #todayprogramme #bbc #letsgo
We’re on tour! And obvs the first stop is my birth land of Manc 🐝 Last October we launched our hyperlocal colouring books @colouryourstreets in our neighbourhoods of South London – Colour In Brixton, Colour in Herne Hill and Colour In Dulwich – after trying to explain a few local sights near our home to our 6 year old son. We found taking photos of these sights and letting him scrawl all over them, on our phones and then taking on printed versions he could colour in, led to much better conversations. Colour Your Streets was born and we have now covered more than 55 areas. But the streets you grew up running around will always be very close to your heart – which is why I am so proud and excited to be bringing our first out of London book, “Colour In… Manchester”, to the great city itself, for what promises to be a lovely colouring sess in the city centre tomorrow… to tie with with the colourful and wonderful @mcrflowerfest – more details to be shared in the morning…. (We also have colouring books of #liverpool #leeds #sheffield #birmingham #cardiff #bristol #oxford #york and many more – with lots of others brewing like a good tea… ) But first – we are going out out. The kids are in London. We are not. That’s after I’ve shaken off the pendolino nausea.

She’s moved to the country but we’ll still talk to her. Just. @rachelarthur 😘 🌱 @luckybuckley ♥️ 🥾 #unihousemates #bankholiday
I love me a cemetery. I just do. They are so peaceful, creative and part of life. Big thanks to one of London’s great seven for opening its gates this weekend to anyone who fancied it @nunheadcemetery Singing in a totally unique space – the wonderful #telegraphhill Community Choir – what joy. And then the views, the tombs, the horses and some excellent animal action from @surreydocksfarm And what a view of St Paul’s… part of why I set up our hyper local colouring books, @colouryourstreets with my husband Jeremy, is because of my constant curiosity about where and what else I can discover…wherever I am. Near my home or far away- I am the constant tourist…and have boundless energy for discovering things and new places. Especially those jewels (cafes, art galleries, green spaces) that only the locals know of. Hence why I am not the best at beach holidays – as much as I try 😜) We are definitely going to prioritise our “Colour In…. Nunhead” book having adored our day in and around the area. Thanks for the music and the cool green space and vibe #nunhead #southlondon #tourist #culturevulture #curiosity #colouryourstreets

Manchester: you did not let us down. Our first mass colouring-in session and it was truly awesome. 🖍️ It’s all about the three c’s: colouring, coffee and cake. What an amazing morning officially launching our @colouryourstreets Manchester colouring book, in the heart of my home city, surrounded by the best scribblers in town, young and old(er). And not a screen in sight. (Cc @smartphonefreechildhood – you would be proud 💪) We loved seeing just how differently people coloured in the same sights and hearing some of the conversations our colouring crew were having about the 16 sights we picked to define such an iconic city. Huge thanks to @gailsbakery on King Street for hosting this joyous celebration to tie in with our book going on sale and the very inspirational annual @mcrflowerfest And the inimitable and my new fave woman @lucynooneblake for being such a tour de force and creating this special event with me. When Manc women come together – there’s a powerful energy and a good laugh guaranteed. Even at 10 in the morning with loads of kids underfoot (and on a Manchester Derby Day 😜 no less). And thrilled to have @colouryourstreets featured in @manchestereveningnews too. Thank you to everyone who came. Keep sharing your colouring too 🖍️ 💪 🖍️ 👀 @colouryourstreets or www.colouryourstreets.co.uk 📚 #manchester #colouring #booklaunch #manchesterflowershow #behindthescenes #parents #kids #crayons #markers #artstagram #derbyday #facupfinal #manchesterunited #manchestercity #emmelinepankhurst #bees #manchestertownhall #manc #mcr #familybusiness #bankholiday
