lambs 7 March 2010
Lovely train trip from Cork to Dublin this morning. I finally felt Spring properly and saw it in action. The fields were filled with tiny lambs (though that was a tad problematical as I remembered the lamb shank dinner last night, delicious as it was) and there were also a lot of foals on view too. When we got off in Dublin the train driver sought me out, told me I’d given him a lot of viewing pleasure over the years on TV and that it had been great to drive me from Cork and then he gave me what I hope is a top tip on a horse running in Cheltenham…am off to put me few bob on that nag in the morning. What a lovely thing (even if I don’t win a a cent!) My late Dad would have SO approved of that kind of encounter.
To top it all off, my football team, ASton Villa, won their game today (though made hard work of it in the first half…) and are in the semi finals of the FA Cup – hooray!
London tomorrow as am on GMTV on Tuesday morning at around 9.15am to flag Ms Libby Croker’s return to SHAMELESS on Tuesday evening (10am Channel 4 – it’s a CRACKING good episode and should not be missed)
