IT’S a nice day – really cold and icy but the sun’s shining so after breakfast I do some tidying up in the garden while Margaret gets the Christmas decorations down.

I get the outside lights down and in to dry off before we put them away….the frost has made everything cold and wet!

In the studio I start putting together a set for next Saturday’s show in Belfast then Catriona rocks up with the kids. Maragert’s suggested we have them overnight so Catriona can have a long lie tomorrow (Sunday)!

The kids have some pizza then bed. Once they’re asleep I make some carnitas and we have dinner and an early night too.
