I was recently laughing my cap off at the latest Oscar furore about the fact that Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway had been given the wrong envelope, which resulted in them announcing La La Land as best picture, when in actual fact it should have been another film. Apparently Emma Stone (who had already won […]

Soooo, I’ve joined a gym! Miracle of all miracles! The first time I joined a gym was many moons ago when my youngest daughter was just a few months old and I thought it was time to ‘get back into the swing of things.’ So I popped along for my induction and the trainer said […]

A few months ago, I wrote a blog about the film, ‘You Before Me’, about a guy who is mown down by a motorbike and ends up in a wheelchair which obviously impacts his life on every level. I spouted forth about the fact that we never really know what is round the corner, so […]

Jeremy Paxman recently rallied against the way some people treat anyone past 50 as ‘a virtual corpse’. And I have to say, that there are times when I heartily agree with him. When I was looking for a design to adorn the cover of Life Begins at Fifty, I sent off a specification to a […]

I’ve always loved food! Well, let’s face it, don’t we all? Even though I’m slim, I do enjoy my grub. When Primula Cheese asked me to come up with some adventurous recipes in conjunction with their Little Moments of Adventure campaign, whereby I was lucky enough to be a pillion passenger on a motorbike trip […]

I was recently asked by Primula Cheese to tick something off my bucket list, as part of their Little Moments of Adventure challenge. This really appealed to me, as Primula cheese are owned by the Kavli Trust, and their profits go to charities and good causes. Brilliant!
