Currently loving.........Sophie Dahl



Don't you just love a cliche? old gypsy caravan? - check, vintage apple crate?- check, odd shaped squashes?- check, wellington boots? - check

This book is bound to be a bestseller it has everything for the ultimate "lifestyle" book, recipes, glamorous "down to earth" model author, and I bet you there are some tips on keeping chickens, and growing lettuce on your balcony.

I will be first in the queue to purchase tomorrow

Edit: Primrose Hill has just notified me that there is a video.....

Oh my gosh i have just watched said video how funny.

I still love her, mainly because i went through a phase of people mistaking me for her. This was mainly when we resided in the same part of London, and i wore a lot of very high heels, i suppose if you stand far away and squint..... I do sound like her though.
Hope it is sunny up there

i thought of you when i saw the book reviewed a while back. you are our very own sd! wondering why haven't i been blessed with the same delightful accent? did we not go to the same school miss p? i must get back to stamford to see if i left it behind ; ) loving the wallpaper in the video (thank you primrose!) yes i am now intrigued enough to add it to my wishlist...i find that one can never have enough cook books to read in bed.

Oh my god - I was looking at just that book on Monday and thinking - God I wish my hair was like that! Didn't look at any of the recipes - just scowled at how jolly perfect she looks in the pics! Can't help but love her though.

My favourite quote from Ms Dahl's publicity circuit was from yesterday's Independent "..but as one gets older one does often get a bit thinner."

Hmmm (scratches chin and looks quizically yet forlornly at own paunch)

My word! We are one and the same....I too have a current girl crush on Ms Dahl. And I really don't need any more cookbooks....x
