Being a Cockroach at the Science Museum
No, its not going around the Science Museum dressed as a cockroach to find out more about cockroaches. That would be too sensible. And would happen next door at the Natural Hist. Museum. Read More…
Why a Ladder is Better Than a Lounger (IMHO)
We all want to have a bit of an adventure on a family holiday – don’t we? And October half term is a rather good time… rather brilliant time is the break during the October half term, just when the stretch to Christmas seems so unbearably long. Read More…
At Appledore Book Festival
What a lovely experience…everyone came and sat down, the place was full, they laughed at my jokes, they listened, they bought my books. Lots of them. Books, I mean. The people. I even signed some with Christmas salutations. Read More…
At Glastonbury Aged 9
Alright, maybe I had a sheltered childhood. But it wasn’t until I was about SEVENTEEN that I was allowed to go to an ‘up all night’ party.
‘Staying the night’ was a bit different, and involved teddies, pyjamas and midnight feasts at 8pm. When I was nine. Read More…
Aaagh! Dog bites paper reviewer…Daybreak, Aug 20
Here I am with the lovely Olly Mann on the Daybreak sofa explaining how I was savaged while speeding down a sand dune in Cornwall. Mann thought it was rather like a dream. I try to convince him it actually was a nightmare. Before I got rescued, that is…
Summer hols
So here we all are in Crantock, Cornwall….I have to speak up for the magic of family holidays on Woman’s Hour and I wish you could have these pictures on radio! Of course… you can’t take photos of the times the children start saying “I’m bored”, “when are we there”, etc etc – but they have been quite few and far between… Read More…
The power of Monopoly and Laura Ingalls Wilder
So here we are on a rainy summer holiday in Cornwall. With no television, internet or decent weather. Incidentally, forget the sunglasses in this picture. They are being worn for Joan Collins-style glamour. Read More…
Croissant in the Jungle Highlights
Rosie in the official bits of France which are not actually in the country we all know and love as France. This 2min clip sequence shows some of the highlights from our trip around the far flung French world, which we documented in six TV shows entitled Croissant in the Jungle. Get ready for a giant tarantula, a very dead iguana, lots of French people being French and some lovely Gallic musical noodling while dolphins play. There is also a very embarrassing shot of me doing some Polynesian dancing.
Renting our for the Olympics, yes that’s for me
If anyone asks where we will be during the Olympics, I just smile mysteriously. Because it is a bit of a mystery. We will be either camping in Cornwall, or in Ireland, or at the bottom of my parents’ garden in Wimbledon, for all I know. Maybe all three. One thing I do known however, is that we will not be in Islington. No, for we have talked the talk and walked the walk and lain down with that nice, sharp man Mr Foxton. Not Biblically speaking, of COURSE. But metaphorically. Read More…
The World’s Worst Bed and Breakfast
Quite simply, the PENSION HENRY on the paradisal Polynesian coral atoll of Rangiroa is one of the grimmest hostelries on the planet. Watch this and wonder how we didn’t all perish of sunstroke, heat rash or a broken limb caused by falling off the balcony. Where do I start? No glass in all bar one window. No air con. Zillions of flies. Hopeless kitchen with no cutlery. Balcony with no balustrade right onto rocky beach. Bathroom impossible to walk on thanks to razor-sharp corals festooning the floor. Redeeming view of ocean obscured by pine tree forest.
