MOTHERS DAY

..Has been and gone. but my mother's day was made when she was recently featured in the march issue of the one and only 'Hertfordshire Life' magazine!! here's a quote from the editorial..

"looking at the areas of sport, business, fame, community spirit and country living (much like this blog) we build a picture of what living in Hertfordshire is all about. In business there is the entrepreneurial genius of Michele Hankins, a self-made success story in bridal accessories, while Geri Halliwell is a role model for any youngster who wants to follow their dream."

hahahaha!! aaaarrrrr!! brrrap! *does a little fizz-pop twichee dance* ...but.. er.. nooo!..haha! CALM DOWN. phew. hmm, firstly..GERI HALLIWELL!!? A ROLE MODEL!? oh god! if that youngster's dream is to become one of the most self-obsessed, annoying, winey, women on the planet!..then yes. love the fact that her name is mentioned along side a Hankins, i could almost be a spice girl! something else i dont expect to see next to the name Hankins is the word GENIUS. now, my mum does make some really beautiful tirars, and amazing shepherd pies but i think genius is going a bit too far. although if she's being judged along side ginger spice and vinnie jones, then the word is well deserved. If you read her little write up below, you will notice the absense of her no.1 influence..me. during her 4 years at uni i gave her all the encouragement and inspiration she needed to get that 1st class degree. having just completed an art degree myself, i was full of great advice and wise words.. "don't bother..no one reads those essays" "you've done enough work, what's for dinner?" "tutors know nothing!" "when you've finished that drawing can you do my CV please mum?" serious now..well done mother!


the inspirational Geri 'yoga-bones' Halliwell..


why must my mum share the page with that football thug!? "watch out mum! he's got a gun and a tattoo!!"



now if you can all email Robyn Bechelet (robyn.bechelet@archant.co.uk) and nominate me for next month's 'Hertfordshire Life's' God-like Genius Award i would be very thankful. well..it's either me or Jade Goody
