Fifty Fifty

I’m back! And I’m 50! We celebrated with a (very) long lunch in the garden just a few weeks ago and honestly, my fifties feel like I’ve arrived at a party I’ve been wanting to go to for ages. Even the dress code feels more relaxed. Anyway, I’ve got lots to tell you so I’ll start with book news. My third novel, This Is Us, came out just before my birthday. Set in Florence and Mull, it tells the story of Stella and her book club (and there’s a fair bit of wine involved, natch). I won’t give too much away but it’s about friends, sisters, marriage, motherhood and starting again. Thank you so much to everyone who’s read it/is reading it and if you do, promise to let me know what you think.

In other news, I’ve got a new online wine course! Launching officially next week with Create Academy, you can pre-order it here from Thursday with a special pre-order discount. We filmed earlier this summer at my house, in my local wine shop and at the most beautiful winery in Sussex and the sun shone throughout. The result is, I hope, a down-to-earth wine guide that will help you pick and choose properly good wines more easily.

Talking of which, this week we’ve got an Italian white and a Greek red and I think you’ll love them both.
