Shattering the illusion

Julie Howatson-Broster Julie Howatson-Broster | 21:22 UK time, Friday, 13 June 2008

Popped to town this morning to try and buy some local honey. What turned to be a 20 minute job actually took about an hour and a half.

Not In My Nature has just started to be advertised on television this week and people have been stopping me in the street and commenting. A very strange experience, I must say.

Everyone wants to know about the programme and what Iolo's like to work with. He's so well respected on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Wales and S4C - let`s just hope us recruits don`t let him down too much.

I carried out a demonstration last night for Denbigh W.I (Women's Institute) and we had such a laugh and a giggle. All the women were over 65 and they were trying to find out so much about Iolo - so I told them everything. Yes, even when he broke wind in the hide on Llandegla Moors! Their poor faces dropped. "What, Iolo `farts`? That`s not possible! Not our lovely Iolo!" I was meant to be sharing my knowledge of the health and beauty industry, not discussing `our Lordship's` antics whilst filming.

I`ve been eating healthily all of this week and I actually feel much better for it already! Saying that, I am going out for supper shortly and WON`T be tucking into a salad. I often have about 4 days a week of eating sensibly and then have nice treats at the weekend. Many people wouldn't see the point in this but I feel that if I ate naughty all week and didn`t behave on occasions, then I would probably be a few dress sizes bigger than I already am. I actually went down to a dress size 12 last summer and really did feel much better about myself.

Lately, it has started to creep back on so I've decided I need to be careful during the week in order to try and get back down. I don`t want to spend money on bigger sizes when I know I have a wardrobe full of decent clothes. So I think I`m going to get up early tomorrow morning and pop out for a 30 minute power walk before the kids wake up. Then again, this probably won't happen. My cosy bed will be far too enticing!
Well that's it for now, will keep you informed and maybe let you in on some `secret` gossip. Not that I do gossip, of course!
