GloTIMEtv were invited to the opening of the first shop for The House of Cream,
the first of many we hope going by the experience we had there.
GloTIMEtv and other guests went along on the 30th October to drool over the fine products available, all in shades of Cream.
Our hosts for the day, who are also the owners, are Nic & Gary
They made us feel most welcome and no pressured sales talk either.
The moment we walked through the door we felt that we were in an enchanted room full of unique home accessories, giftware and soft furnishings in Cream or with a neutral theme.
Items are sourced from the Uk and beyond, they have carefully selected a quality range of luxurious yet affordable home furnishings, accessories and gift-ware.
Each beautifully fits within the theme of Cream for interior design perfection.
Cream and it’s hues of ivory, champagne, gold and ecru are always warm, welcoming and stylish when used within the home.
To compliment these shades, they also offer a range of colours including neutrals – aptly named ‘cream fusion’.
We recommend that you make a trip to The House of Cream and start ‘living the theme’ at
59 London Road, Blackwater, Camberley, Surrey GU17 0AB
and you can be a very happy shopper too.
or visit the website http://thehouseofcream.com/
If you enter your email address on their website they will send you a 10% off voucher on your first order !
GloTIMEtv will definitely be going again soon

Have you ever dreamed of writing a novel and seeing it come to life on the silver screen?
Or maybe you’ve already published your book and are wondering about how to turn it into a screenplay?
Seems impossible, right?
Well, the answer, is, NO! Nothing is impossible, and on this one-of-a-kind writers’ retreat, at the beautiful 14th century Marouatte Castle in the Dordogne, Southwestern France we’ll show you just how your words, your vision—let’s face it, your baby—can make it all the way to the big screen!
The first Rocaberti Retreat, held in March 2016, completely transcended all expectations: out of the eleven writers who attended, one had her script optioned before the end of the retreat, two are currently in the midst of negotiations for their script or book to be optioned and deals are in the works for several others … the impossible did happen, and it happened at Rocaberti!
Here’s what Georgia Clark, winner of the first Rocaberti Scholarship, said about her Rocaberti experience:
“I was honored to be awarded the scholarship for the inaugural Rocaberti Writers Retreat. My mentor was simply fabulous: experienced, generous, warm, funny and insightful. We made great headway on helping turn my new adult fiction THE REGULARS into a feature film. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, and all in Spain!”
And the second Rocaberti Retreat surpassed even the first (there’s even a reality TV show in the works, involving one of the special guests)!
Attendees called the retreat, “A magical, miraculous event”, “The experience of a lifetime”, “The best decision I’ve ever made” and “Life-changing.”
But let the writers speak for themselves!

Your Rocaberti Retreat mentors include producer Golan Ramraz (‘Iron Man’, ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’); Debra Landwehr Engle, best-selling author with over 25 years’ experience helping writers secure agents and land publishing deals; film and theatre producer Joan Lane (‘The King’s Speech’) and Kathie Fong Yoneda, former Disney and Touchstone Exec, who’s also worked for Paramount, Universal and 20th Century Fox.
We’ve joined forces because we want to help show you how to bring your “literary twins”—your book and screenplay—to life! Not only how to finish writing them (an art in itself, as anyone who has an unfinished manuscript or screenplay lying around their home will tell you!) but also how to have them successfully published … and made into a movie!
You’ll be part of a small and exclusive group of a maximum of no more than 12 writers at the retreat.
Through focused, practical presentations in the mornings, afternoon mentoring sessions, evening social events—and with a mentor/writer ratio of approximately 1:3—you’ll learn how to tell your story on the page and on the screen, and be one step closer to seeing your dream come to life!
Sound enticing? We’re inviting writers of fiction, non-fiction, and for the screen to come join us for what promises to be a memorable (and productive!) experience. Enrollment is limited to just 12 guests to ensure small class size and maximum access to our mentors.
Picture yourself staying at a 14th century castle (how’s that for inspiration?). Participating in stimulating workshops. Enjoying a glass of wine with a film producer, published author or Hollywood agent. Sharing your work with others for constructive feedback. Just taking the time to breathe—and to write, away from the demands of your daily routine. Imagine the conversations that might unfold daily around the breakfast table or on a walk round the castle grounds.
Whether you’ve written a book, are working on a screenplay—or are just thinking about it!—wherever you are in the process, we’re here to help you move forward and show you that dreams can become reality!
This retreat is for you if…
- You’re working on a book/screenplay combination or have an idea for one.
- You have a book and want to turn it into a screenplay or vice-versa—or sell it directly to Hollywood.
- You’re unsure how to get your book/screenplay in front of agents and producers.
- You’re serious about completing your project and making your dream come true!

If you are stuck in the rut of the ‘hamster wheel’ in a job that is seriously not for you, then take stock and consider your options – and wake up to the fact that there is a big wide world out there, and life is for living.
Starting your own business and working from home is not for the faint hearted. But it is a serious option, and if you are one of the under-valued and under paid women, then take it on board and think hard, because this may be the chance to change your life.
It will mean lots of hard work, long hours and a roller coaster of emotions, which may lead you begging back for the nine to five. But on the positive note, the rewards for a leap of faith and starting your own enterprise are enormous.
The old saying states that ‘fortune favours the brave’ and it is true. You are not going to advance in the World if you don’t take that first step into the unknown and prepare to fall flat on your feet several times before knowing how to walk and then run your own enterprise.
It is helpful if you have a little collateral to begin your new venture, but not essential. The main ingredient for success is Passion, and that will get you through the rockiest of times, and help you to succeed – NEVER LAUNCH A BUSINESS FOR MONEY ALONE – you have to love your product. The second is forward planning, and as well as a business plan, you need your own five-year plan, which is your vision of the goals and growth of your company. All of these are essential in starting a new business, and then take a deep breath and brace yourself for the turbulence of the water as you embark on your endeavour, because every success story comes with a series of ups and downs and you have to be prepared to ride the storm and survive the challenges ahead. But rather than seeing it as a concern, look upon it as an adventure, and embrace each obstacle with open arms.
Richard Branson admitted to a recent gathering of the top performing Companies in the Midlands, that he still has sleepless nights, and if you don’t you are not a serious member of the new enterprise brigade.
We don’t know what goes on behind the scenes of a company but many international entrepreneurs have gone bankrupt several times before making their millions. One even managed to become President of the United States!! Hmmm. I am not advising you to take this route, but urging you to avoid it at all cost, but just pointing out that anything is possible whatever the pit falls.
Recently a friend of mine who lived in a small village started selling her cupcakes and brownies to nearby bakeries, and is now making a tidy penny from her fabulous cooking abilities.
Another female friend started her dog walking business and has managed to take in doggie day borders and work them around the school run and school holidays. She is now making enough to pay her mortgage and bring up her two boys, having recently become a single Mum.
Thank goodness for modern technology which eliminates the problem and expense of acquiring an office and keeps the costs to a minimum whilst starting up.
There are many tutorials and templates online for building a business plan if you are going for a loan. But do not overstretch yourself, and gentle explore the competition and look at what they are doing.
Have your own USP and stick to it, after all it is your baby and will have your own DNA, how wonderful is that.
