Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together! 🥰

A single press release can make such a difference…

Newspaper coverage, local radio and local TV.

Making part of the River Fowey an official bathing spot will make a difference, residents say.

🎄 Despite plans to keep my tree up until Candlemas... it's done, and it's down.

The tree's twinkling presence was stopping me dead in my tracks keeping me in holiday mode!

Clearing the last of the decorations feels like hitting reset: new energy, new goals, and a renewed focus on the year ahead.

How has your start been?

Gosh, where did that year go?

As we move into 2026, I'd like to wish all my Facebook friends and supporters a 'good slide' into the New Year...

That's a funny German saying which I've never been able to translate any better but it seems quite appropriate!

Have a good slide everyone, and see you on the other side x

This is what it's all about!

Forget those £millions spent by retailers at Christmas (however much I love the Waitrose film trailer with Keira 🥰), and watch these lads singing their hearts out for their neighbours!

So special without even trying to be. Priceless.

Here's the link to the Ring doorbell clip that went viral: https://www.facebook.com/reel/824214003919623

I have to say, that maybe they should have consulted a media reputation specialist before announcing his departure from the cabinet to take on this £70K... while keeping his Cllr role... and all ahead of an election that will most likely decimate their position in Cornwall. Just bizarre!

One MP says he is now questioning what else the council has been hiding

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together!

Brilliant Saltash author Annalisa speaking here about her new book launch and book tour - all happening next week.

She approached me to get her some local coverage…

I pulled together a press release which was featured in the Cornish Times;
She has a lovely interview, filmed in Saltash, on ITVX, and now a live studio interview with BBC Radio Cornwall.

I couldn’t be more chuffed for her!
💕

Now all go out and buy the book!!

‘One Tuesday, Early’ out next week!

Annalisa Crawford chats about her new book "One Tuesday, Early" and why Saltash features.

Think Train…

Off to Teignmouth to meet the amazing Natalie Trice from Getting into the Press and The Press Club fame.

So excited to be finally meeting her in person, especially cool as it’s in the town I was brought up in.

I always forget to think train…
I was umming and ahhhing about whether I wanted to drive in this drizzle and then lightbulb moment, 💡I’ll use the train!

It’s great to just have time to sit and catch up on emails, or just gaze, without having to concentrate on driving.

And best of all, you get some great views even on a grey day… spotting my favourite Samworth Brothers Supply Chain trucks on the Tamar Bridge!

Have a great day everyone!

A cheeky email on a Monday morning to see if anyone has any space for a quick mention... and it's just the thing that was needed to fill a little gap.

Brilliant for my artists and just the job for the editor! A win win!
