Well I suppose I should start off by saying Happy New Year, Happy Valentine’s Day!! And how’s Lent going, if you’ve decided to give something up for the next 40 days or so…? It’s been a while since I last blogged and I really can’t believe it’s mid-February already. So, talking of Lent, I’ve given up […]
Well, Christmas is literally days away and I thought I’d take this opportunity to say I hope you’ve had a good year, and you’re not still desperately wrapping presents – as I am! Since I last did a blog it’s been an Autumn of two halves (hey, a football analogy from me, that’s a first!). On […]
So it’s August and I’ve decided to have a mini break in the sun with one of my dearest friends… and as I sit here typing the rain is lashing down and we’ve had thunder and lightening… and I’m not even in the UK! I’ve just realised I haven’t updated my blog properly since at least […]
Hi, Nicki C with you on 2mail duties for the first time. I’ve had a wonderful time sitting in for Lady V in the mornings over the last few weeks. As I began my career in the music biz, I can’t tell you what a treat it is to be part of Radio 2 and […]

So as I sit here typing, it’s certainly warming up and my garden is beginning to look more like a garden … at last. When the weather changes for the better, it certainly makes filming up and down the country for ‘Escape…’ a lot more pleasurable. My first admission is I failed with Lent this […]
Well March is now with us and as I sit and type, the sun is shining and spring has nearly, very nearly, sprung. It’s been a really interesting start to the year with plenty of travels to places I’m not overly familiar with. I was delighted when P & O invited me once again to […]
Well here we are in 2015 and it’s shaping up quite well. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year (it seems ages ago now). So far this year I’ve celebrated a birthday, sat in for the lovely Janice Long on BBC Radio 2 for ‘After-midnight’ (always such a pleasure and thanks for […]
What a crazy couple of months and a great autumn it’s been. Now I’m definitely struggling to adjust to this winter weather (when are those Australian dates coming up again….?!). It’s this time of year that you start to reflect on the year to date… and it’s certainly been a busy one. Always having the […]
So firstly thank you for checking out my brand new website, it’s a fresh start with lots of things coming up so keep checking in for the latest updates. This summer has been barmy (and I’m not just talking about the weather); we’ve just wrapped on Wanted Down Under for another series and I’m already […]
