Clandon Wood Natural Burial Ground
A Natural Burial Most people don’t like to think about death and why would we? Life is for living and we generally put thoughts of our inevitable demise to one side. We infrequently focus on any aspect of that part of our future and although some pass on their final wishes to their family, many people […]
Menopause and m***********
A few weeks ago when talking with a good friend she told me that women in their forties and fifties really want to discuss The Two Ms. She said I should write about them. I was totally in the dark. The Two Ms? What was she talking about? With laughter frothing from her mouth and knowing […]
Charlotte’s Helix : unlocking anorexia
Charlotte’s Helix seeks to support a global initiative to unlock the genetic code of anorexia nervosa. Many of us will know of someone who has suffered, or is still suffering, from the eating disorder anorexia nervosa.

Lunchbowl Network
With Lunchbowl Network, 33p goes a long way… What can possibly be more fundamental to life than food on the table each day and clean water to drink? In the UK most of us take both of those for granted, and try to forget that in some parts of the world, there are children who […]
Never complain about your body …
Never complain about your body, as it’s the one you will wish you had in ten years time! I have just washed my jeans and they are hanging up on a drying rack looking alarmingly small. I think they must have shrunk. I fear the only way to get back into them will be by […]
Still Alice
Imogen Jamieson recommends Still Alice. I am not overly keen on New Year resolutions. Life is complicated enough without adding in more guilt from failing to meet my own expectations, so as 2016 rolled in I merely suggested to myself that it might be fun to try and visit the cinema more frequently. This came […]
Are you a feminist?
Why does the word feminist still scare some of us? Are you a feminist? I asked a friend recently and we both scratched our heads in confusion. When I put the same question to one of my daughters later that day, her certainty took me aback. “Of course I am a feminist” she told me […]
#Keepitreal
It would help us all if social media would #keepitreal Just recently I learned that Instagram has more subscribers globally than Twitter. Well, they do say a picture paints a thousand words whereas the limit on Twitter is just 140 characters. Instagram! It is currently my greatest bête-noir. I want to love it but I […]
Is youth wasted on the young?
On a day to day basis, I am one of life’s planners. If you want to make a social arrangement with me then don’t suggest this week or even next, the earliest gap in my diary is three weeks hence. This is not because I am enormously popular and on an endless whirl of fun […]
Rediscover your inner chic!
Can one trip to the High Steet restore your inner chic? As a woman who is based largely at home: wife, mother, writer, accountant, general dogsbody (I am a veritable CEO although that’s another story!), I frequently struggle with the mundanity of my attire. I live in a rural idyll with a road that floods […]
