Life tweet again for Nigella?

London - Radio silence has been broken, so to speak, in the great British stand-off concerning Nigella Lawson and her now ex-husband Charles Saatchi.
Nigella, 53, has barely spoken to Saatchi since the bizarre strangulation scene between the couple became front-page news in June, preferring to communicate via their expensive legal teams.
Nor has she been communicating with the 433,000 fans who follow her on Twitter.
But now, in a sign that would appear to show her world is returning to normal, the Domestic Goddess has tweeted for the first time since the bizarre marital eruption of two months ago.
Nigella, who is off to the US shortly to start filming her series The Taste - she will be away for at least four months - is now living in a relatively small mews house in West London.
The last time she wrote a word to her devoted Twitter fans was on June 15 - the day before her infamous lunch with Saatchi at Scott’s fish restaurant in Mayfair was plastered over the papers. At the time Nigella tweeted: ‘Green tea and a toasted, buttered bagel. Yum.’
Then the TV cook, who up to that point was using Twitter at least a couple of times a day, went uncharacteristically silent.
She stayed off the radar until this week when her account suddenly burst into life again as if nothing untoward had happened in her life. She posted: ‘Yum: settling down to The Great British Bake Off with a slice of this blackcurrant Victoria sponge.’
She also posted a photo of said cake and almost immediately, her fans demanded to know whether the sponge was one of hers or shop bought.
She replied in capital letters: ‘I MADE IT - though it wouldn’t get me far in the GBBO.’
On Wednesday, the theme continued as Nigella posted another photograph of things she had eaten - a radicchio lettuce, squash and pomegranate salad for lunch - which she said was ‘as beautiful to look at as to eat’.
Interestingly - and rather poignantly - Nigella also tweeted about Ruby Wax’s self-help book on depression, Sane New World, said by the blurb to be about ‘how our minds can jeopardise our sanity’, at about the same time her marriage was imploding. - Daily Mail
