For someone who has spent a bit of time in England’s Northumberland and border country, I was intrigued by the recent media storm surrounding Judith O’Reilly and her Wife in the North blog - which has achieved the fastest blog to book deal to date. So when the opportunity to pose some questions to Judith presented itself, our editorial team scratched it’s collective heads and came up with some highly original and probing questions! Ok, they might not be original or probing but we hope you enjoy the responses.

This innovative Duracell mini charger has recently picked up an award for the 2008 battery product of the year award. Obscure I know but a fantastic achievement all the same.
It charges anything from your battery operated shaver to your electric eyelash curlers, and it’s small, so it’s perfect take away on holiday!
It comes with rechargeable batteries, and allows you to recharge them over and over. It plugs straight into the wall and charges up two AA or AAA batteries.
The best bit is that it’s only £9.99 so will pay for itself in no time!
How often is it that we forget to take a phone charger on holiday and we’re stranded when the battery fails. Mobile phones are more than just a gadget to keep your friends posted on your shenanigans… when travelling they are crucial to your safety and alerting people to potential dangerous situations.
Here’s a little gadget called the Juicebar which is a highly affordable safety net at £2.99. It’s infact the world’s slimmest disposable mobile phone charger that can recharge a completely flat mobile phone battery in around 60 minutes, giving you up to 60 minutes of talk time and 480 minutes standby.
Just plug a Juicebar into your phone, and charging will start. You can even use your phone whilst it is charging.
Juicebar is available for Nokia, Sony, Samsung, Motorola and Blackberry phone brands with an LG product available soon.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp is hitting the US this summer. This may not be everybody’s cup of tea but with celebrities like Angus T Jones ("Two and a Half Men"), Madeline Zima ("Californication"), Thom Barry ("Cold Case"), and Brandon Barash ("General Hospital") - it’s going to have a strong niche appeal to Rock ‘n’ Rol wanabees....
The idea is that you can join in with these luminaries at various one day camps, that will be hosted in 15 different cities. You can
meet, jam, rehearse and perform live with rock star counselors including Gilby Clarke (Guns n’ Roses), Chris Slade (AC/DC), Kip Winger (Winger), Mark Slaughter (Slaughter) and more.
For hardcore, headbanging rock gods this could be paradise....
”Every camper who goes through the Camp tells me the same thing—that it changes their lives forever,” says Camp Counselor Elliot Easton of The
Cars. “Men and women of every skill level come together and perform with their musical idols. It’s unforgettable and, quite honestly, magical.”
