“You can't beat a traditional afternoon tea - I drink about 10 cups of ...” — Jay Blades Quote

You can't beat a traditional afternoon tea - I drink about 10 cups of tea a day and have a very sweet tooth.

I had to defend myself against bullies a lot.

Making things just allowed me to feel good every day.

At 21 I was all over the place, I had no direction, I left London because I was getting into loads of fights and there were people after me.

I was running a charity that taught teenagers about furniture restoration. The Guardian online did a piece with me and it went viral.

I write longhand; I make changes longhand, and I have an assistant who types it up. She lives 70 yards away. Every afternoon, I have a case I leave out on the porch, and she brings it back the next morning.

To whom it may concern: It is springtime. It is late afternoon.

We all have these places where shy humiliations gambol on sunny afternoons.

Saturday afternoon I'll go shopping. Always. I can find things to buy wherever I am.

I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage.' Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer.
