So after an incredibly busy week last week, i'm glad to be getting back into my 'slightly less busy' routine :)
Since my last post, I got the chance to travel to York and took part in a journalism workshop with Channel 4.
It was such a fantastic experience and I got to meet the incredible and lovely, Lucille Howe.
She started her career as an actress but soon found her talent for writing.
Lucille gave us some great tips about writing and really inspired me to begin my work as a journalist. Make sure you check out her website!
Hopefully this will be me as a journalist in Paris one day! (image is from Lucille's website)
Here's what you missed on todays show!
BIRTHDAY SHOUTOUTS
Anybody celebrating today must be drop dead gorgeous - partying with you today is Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai who believe it or not is 38! The star is also due to give birth anytime now to mid November, best of luck!

V: Yeah they have either, lots of B&B's but I've never stayed.
N: Guess you don't need to cause you live there, alright for some! Cumbria was in the news for the floods in 2009 and apparently you had an earthquake late last year?
V: Yeah, I was in bed when my house just started to shake, it was so weird. I wasn't affected by the floods cause luckily I live on a hill but yeah, it was pretty bad.
