The Cambs christmas card is lovely. Happy kids, nice family group photo.
I know we've moved on but i just watched the Mary B. Lovely show and it was good and right that the emphasis was on the volunteers and service users. Great recipes and I thought DoC looked lovely in her dresses. That style is probably so comfy to wear when you're bending forward, crouching, sitting in low chairs and rising again. All with all eyes on you. Her nerves do show, but i find that endearing. She tries hard and says the right things and that's the main thing.
That shrug off though! It looked sheer instinct to me. She realised what she'd done and then tried to swing about a little tiny bit more to cover it up. They should have edited that out. Not to get too maudlin but i've had to act out a happy marriage in public. I kept it up convincingly for a number of years. So well in fact that everyone was shocked when i left. They all thought we were the perfect couple. So it can be done. That gut reaction shrug - i think i recognise it. Poor Kate. Hopefully i'm way off the mark anyway.
