She is a delight. What a lovely lady. A very worthy addition.
I agree, a great choice. Talented and attractive to boot.
I live close to Mrs Howard’s London home and often see her in the area. She is always very well turned out and smiling. She plainly has a good life and enjoys it to the full. I would suggest if more people took such an attitude, there would be a lot more happiness in the world. I will go and seek out her latest novel today as it sounds like a good read. Thank you Mrs Howard for brightening the days of many.
Ethel …..give it a rest please. Her husband is a very peculiar looking fella
Her husband has a LOT to answer for…………. Remember Jeremy Paxman? ANSWER THE BLOODY QUESTION.
Yawn.
She is a delight , have met her a couple of times, charming , gentle and witty and of course attractive!
She is a good friend from London modelling days. Very down to earth. Her husband happens to be a very sexy man which is one of the reasons they are so happily married. You should ALL be so lucky!
