Nanny Time

Jo has had a low key August, keeping up with her physio for her knee "it's all about repetition at this point," she says, and enjoying her downtime in California. She was absolutely ga-ga over a day she spent in Laguna at The Festival of Arts' Pageant of the Masters. "It was a wonderful experience, absolutely wonderful," she told us.
