How absolutely amazing to see your response to my Radio2 debut! Thank you so much for your support xxx

I love Trollope and have read the complete Chronicles of Barsetshire twice over the years ...

When you said you have a co-op nearby I was just thinking "hope it's better stocked than mine" 😂

I have been looking forward to Friday reading vlogs - I love, love, love them - a star moment in my week🤩👍

I don't know if they are my _favorite_ quotes of all time, but the two quotes I use as my e-mail signature are the ones that sprung immediately to mind! "I meant," said Ipslore, bitterly, "what is there in this world that makes living worth while?" Death thought about it. CATS, he said eventually, CATS ARE NICE. --Terry Pratchett, "Sourcery" "But one has to make some sort of choice," said Harriet. "And between one desire and another, how is one to know which things are really of overmastering importance?" "We can only know that," said Miss de Vine, "when they have overmastered us." --Dorothy L. Sayers, "Gaudy Night"

I’m late to watching this! My favourite quote and I think it’s from the book as well but apologies if it’s just in the tv show lol a character in Game Of Thrones says :”my brother once told me, nothing someone says before the word “but” really counts

I have finally bought “ The sweet roasting tin” after watching all the lovely cakes you’ve made - where should I start? Any favourites you would recommend?

“Reader, I married him” from Jane Eyre - first thing that came to mind. Glad to see you back Lauren! 💕

I'm paraphrasing because I can't recall exactly but from The Fault in our Stars - 'I fell in love like you fall asleep, slowly and then all at once'.

'"I'm flying home," said Sissix. "That's something I've got to do myself."' This is the quote that comes to mind from one of my favourite books, The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Its about turning off autopilot and manually flying to her home planet, and for some reason it really stuck with me. I now turn off the satnav early on the way home from holiday, which 9 times out of 10 results in me getting lost or stuck in traffic I could have avoided 😅 Really good to see you back, have missed the videos

I am loving this summer too 🌧️😊

So glad you are back!

I'm so happy your reading vlogs are back😃🙃! They are my favourite videos of yours. I've been enjoying the summer as well so far. Cool nights meaning great sleep, being able to still wearing my jeans without sweating, working in the heat is no fun either... Though I selfishly wouldn't mind a week of mostly dry and sunny weather as I'm going on holiday to the Baltic Sea today.

From Pride and Prejudice….(I am the happiest creature in the world, I am happier even than Jane)……”she only smiles, I laugh” 💗

Missed you Lauren, glad your back. Like the cookies, they look yummy! “Queens can, too, fly,” she blurted out, daring him. His grin broadening to suffuse his face, he put his hands on her shoulders and gave her an affectionate shake. “Of course they can fly,” he assured her, his voice full of pride and respect. “That’s why they have wings!” ― Anne McCaffrey, The Dragonriders of Pern: Books 1-3 “The bronze rider of Mnementh, Lord F’lar, will require quarters for himself. I, F’nor, brown rider, prefer to be lodged with the wingmen. We are, in number, twelve.” F’lar liked that touch of F’nor’s, totting up the wing strength, as if Fax were incapable of counting.” ― Anne McCaffrey, The Dragonriders of Pern: Books 1-3 "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderlay...." “I knew that we should either go to the bottom together, or that she would be the making of me. - Captain Wentworth

"'To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven,' Master Robinton."

Fav quote from my favorite book Their Eyes Were Watching God: "Then one day she sat and watched the shadow of herself going about tending store and prostrating itself before [her husband], while all the time she herself sat under a shady tree with the wind blowing through her hair and her clothes. Somebody near about making summertime out of loneliness."

My fave quote is from The Road by Cormac McCarthy, the father about his son - ‘He said: If he is not the word of God God never spoke’. So heartbreakingly tender. Speaking of the election and Bridget Jones in one vid, have you heard that apparently Helen Fielding based Mark Darcy on KEIR STARMER as they moved in similar circles in London in the 90s?? It could be an urban myth/unverified internet rumour but it is scarily plausible 😂

Cookies look lovely! My go to recipe is one I've tweaked over the years, dark chocolate, tahini, maldon salt 😊 If you like your cookies super fresh, I can recommend freezing a few dough balls when you bake and and baking them from frozen the day you want them. Fresh cookies any time! (And no risk of uneaten bakes... not that we ever struggle too much with that over here).

From Little Women, "I'm not ambitious for a splendid fortune, but I do long to be master of my own fate." I definitely had to look this one up as I couldn’t remember the full quote 😂

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again - Rebecca

26:04 I use own-brand yeast extract because (I think) it's gluten free. And I use own-brand for everything else because I ain't paying for the packaging! (Herbal tea, coffee, and cleaning stuff are the only branded things I buy)

Would you ever consider getting a kindle?

Where is the S Club 7 t-shirt from? I need that in my life!
