We're in Chicago.

I've just returned back to the hotel after a packed day in Chicago, but I'm so glad to be here as it is one of my favourite cities to visit in the USA. I'm so impressed by the weather here at the moment, it's just beautiful, especially since many people have been telling us that it often snows around this time of year (the photo above is taken from our room)! Bright and early this morning I had a live interview on Channel 7 ABC Morning News. On second thought, it wasn't exactly 'bright' this morning seeing as when we left it was still very dark! Later on this morning I did live interview on NBC's iVillage. Stephanie was able to take photos on the set so I've posted a few of them above. It's both exciting and daunting doing live interviews, knowing that many people are watching you in their homes and if you make any mistakes there is no way to edit them out!

At lunchtime I had a really interesting meeting at The Women's Athletic Club in the city where I spoke to a group of women about "A Labor of Love" and also had lunch with the ladies there. It was great to be able to discuss my book at length and get some feedback. More busy times continued this afternoon when I did an interview with The Tribune and a taped segment for WGN Radio. I'm not sure when the radio interview will air, but the article in The Tribune will be published in January. I can't believe it is nearly the end of the year all ready!
