What a way to end the series and the year! We had Comedy Queen @realmirandahart on board this week. As you’ll see from the clip there are perils to Alan Air being the only dog friendly airline in the world – watch out for dog induced turbulence!!! We chatted all about her extensive travels and just had to mention her brilliantly raw and revealing new book ‘I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You’ Please enjoy @lifesabeach.podcast with a scolding hot cup of tea ☕️ 🔥

I had many extraordinary moments in 2024. One of them was a hotel stay above Lake Garda @lefayresorts I never saw myself as a swish Italian Lakes kind of a person (!) but the fabulous @healingholidays suggested it as a great place to unwind when getting back to work proved hard on my body. One of the reasons I wrote my book was to demystify and simplify the often overwhelming wellness industry for myself. I was too unwell to travel for many years and had to find ways for joy and meaning despite restriction. I know holidays are an enormous privilege. Especially when you get to plunge into pools of various temperatures and have incredible treatments – my fav being the saltwater float. I bobbed and smiled like a massive but weightless baby! What I learnt at the glorious and stunning @lefayresorts was that many of the things that were there, were in my sick room – a view (though Lake Garda wins over a West London tree!), gratitude for small things, deep breaths, slow pace, lie in the sun (when it comes out in the UK), letting my body sink into a bed, stare at the moon, soak in the moment by listening (though Garda crickets win over London’s mating foxes), play games with a best friend, a sip of wine or refreshing juice, and on. Now I know more than ever the privilege of having a holiday, I will always make sure to bring it back with me and think of the ways to give back too. That way, holidays really do feel healing. They really can be a reset. If you are lucky enough to consider one this year I can wholly recommend Lefay Spa at Lake Garda. I still miss the women at the spa desk! They really do have your health as a priority and will suggest programmes and treatments and ways to rest and reenergise, wherever you are at. Here’s to a relaxing, kindly 2025. One day at a time. ❤️
When you are 52 and your joy has fully returned. So you wear a shark onesie you were given at Xmas and then take up the challenge to post part of the needing to do a poo in a shark onesie story….

Yesterday I did an event @wimbledon My first dream was to be a pro tennis player and win Wimbledon. I couldn’t not ask for a photo by the trophy! And I think I am giving the perfect vibes of a past champion (I look natural with a racket if I do say so myself) who has since enjoyed not training and has got happily out of shape!
News just in… new book for the Autumn! It’s a short story that I am obviously calling a tall tale – The Christmas Tree that Loved to Dance. Out on the 23rd of October 2025. I am, what I call, thrilled. The idea for a cosy short story came from years of illness when those kind of gentle and loving moments via an easy read were so important. I now know they are important full stop. I hope it gives you a restful moment in your day this Winter and beyond. Pre-order through the link in my bio. And if you want to support independent book shops AND receive 10% off, you can order through Bookshop.org before Thursday 28 Aug with the discount code LOVEBOOKSHOPS Very excited to share this story with you. And you will love the illustrations by @lucyclaireillustration #suchfun

Hello to you, I am here with big news. You know how people say life begins at 50? And you think, “Yeah, right,” well, it’s true. I can confirm it: I got married at 51, and at 52—this is the news—I have partnered with @cottontradersuk to do a limited-edition range of pants. Yes, I am officially a lingerie model. Not your sexy, frilly little numbers—no, don’t worry, I’ve got your back—BIG WHITE PANTS. They’re so good. Go to cottontraders.com/mirandaspants or link on my stories for the full range and exclusive unseen content. Thrilled!

Sleepy day today. One of the reasons I wanted to write a short story for adults (though suitable for children too) – for the sleepier days we may need to have moments of gentle rest. And because I believe all adults need childlike moments. If my Tall Tale fits that bill for you I would be delighted. ❤️🎄🐶 Link in bio to order x
