Save the Children is ‘magick’

Post-Mary in Nottingham there seems to be a feeling that the whole show was just an elaborate trick of some broadcasting conjurer. “Is Orpington even a real place?” asks T. We have no map to prove him right or not. Yet if it had been made up I’m sure the BBC Marketing Department would have located it in a place with a far more creative name, perhaps Little-Takings-On-Sea?

Dear Jo (and fans of Mary Queen of Shops)
Thank you for your question (see comment on previous blog)
There’s always a pang of fear when an outsider tries to change something you have a great deal of affection for. Will their skills set fit in a new and challenging environment? Will they be able to improve on the existing situation? Will the final result represent a new way forward?
The power of the press!

We raised over £12,500 in the Westfield Shop yesterday. That’s over 2,500 children’s lives saved.

I have just arrived for the press opening of our ‘pop up shop’ in Westfield Shopping Centre. All week designer donations like Mulberry handbags, Manolo shoes and Roland Mouret dresses have been rolling in from readers of Grazia.

I wasn’t able to volunteer in Nottingham this week but fortunately the BBC have given me and us all a good fix of Save the Children shop action on the television last night. I feel obliged to respond.
