I am delighted to have been featured on the BBC twice in December, talking about Mister Mishkins’ Apothecary.

What is your child scared of? The Magical Mister M What is your child scared of? The Magical Mister Mishkins Series can help...

"Mister Mishkins, the ‘Master of the Apothecary of Cats’ will help anyone in need who walks through his door. Only the lost and scared can find Mosaic Street but once you walk through those doors, you’ll walk back out stronger, happier and no longer afraid. Using emotional therapy from cats and kittens, it’s Mister Mishkins responsibility to ensure his treasured cats are safe and well and to choose which cat in each drawer, fills the need for the emotional occasion."

Match your child's fear to the cats in the Apothecary Realm - part two to follow.

Time for the magic to begin... Twinkling lights, f Time for the magic to begin... Twinkling lights, frost in the air, starlit skies above our heads, cosy fires, laughter with friends, love shared with family, tinsel and dreams, and that expectant anticipation of Santa, Christmas lights, and New Year sparkles.

Have a wonderful month, love Samantha xxx

Take me back to the sea, take me back to the place Take me back to the sea, take me back to the place that I love the best... 

Some days, the sound of the waves just calls to me. I miss the sea. I spent three years at university on the North Yorkshire coast, and this is a place I will always call home. And aren't the blues and the waves just so wonderful in this picture? Captured last October, in Scarborough's wonderful North Bay, at the end of our university reunion.

The final cat we meet in The Magic of Mister Mishkins is cat number seventeen, Susie. With her brave head for heights, she takes not one but two people off on an adventure - and makes someone's dreams come true.

What a treat to enjoy this new fizz from the @tusc What a treat to enjoy this new fizz from the @tuscanfarmshop - needed after driving for over almost two hours after two days. 

Now safely home, with the world shut out, the cats all milling around, the woodburner going, and a calm settling in our world.

I love the Tuscan Farmshop wines, and this fizz is a perfect addition to the festive table. Brava!
