Of course anyone who is reading this is already a convert.  But just in case you aren’t take note.  If my 89 year old aunt can learn to use a computer and is now on FB then anyone can do it!!!

On a lighter but not unconnected note I’m now embracing my inner Chanel in preparation for the film preview next week of’ Coco before Chanel’, with Audrey Tatou, which goes out on 31st July with Dave Fanning on the Tubridy show.  So….it’s red lipstick and my Chanel quilted bag to the ready!
