FASHION

In my 50s I realised I’d become ‘invisible’ - and if you’re middle-aged or more you’ll know exactly what I mean - so, I saw a stylist, got my colours done and dyed my hair bright red. With a new-found confidence I developed my own individual look and found that strangers started stopping me in the street to tell me they ‘liked my style!’ So I am now on a mission: to dress stylishly for the rest of my life and share everything with you in regular blogs. To appear on the “I Like Your Style” page, please send any funky shots to: info@alternativeageing.net

FITNESS

In my 40s, my mum unexpectedly died of a massive heart attack. From working long, unhealthy hours in TV, I became a well-respected nutritionist and wrote three books; trying, testing and researching as much as I could about exercise, spiritual practises and diet. When it comes to being fit, I know that if I don't move it, I lose it (both mentally and physically). So on this blog I'll share all there is to know about the latest fitness fads and introduce you to inspiring older fitties I meet along the way. Send any fitness stories, pix or tips to: info@alternativeageing.net

FOOD

In my 40s, 50s, and now in my 60s, I’ve researched, broadcast and written about one thing: we are what we eat. I am passionate about nutrition but I’m not preachy or faddy...a glass or two of Prosecco may well feature in the odd photo! After years of research for my latest book, Alternative Ageing, I have loads of info about anti-ageing foods, drinks, supplements and skin products to share. The blog will include health tips and healthy recipes galore, from how to whiten your teeth naturally, to feeding your grandkids nutritious but tasty meals. If it’s healthy, simple and cheap it’ll be here! Send any of your healthy recipes or tips to: info@alternativeageing.net

(Ad) Many of you will already know that I’m a huge fan of Future Renew range, so I’m delighted to share their latest Future Renew products with you specially formulated for the thinnest and more forgotten areas of our ageing bodies…… the neck and décolletage, body (my knees!) and hands.


The products include: No7’s Future Renew Neck and Décolletage Serum, Future Renew Body Serum plus a fabulous Future Renew Hand Cream. All three contain No7’s award-winning world-first super peptide blend, proven to reverse the appearance of multiple visible
signs of skin damage. So extra help from a brand with a long history of research that I have come to love and trust.


Let me know if you’re a No7 fan and how you get on with these amazing new products.

Just popping in to say a Very Happy New Year to each and everyone of you. May 2026 be everything you want it to be❤️ I spent the last day of the year hugging trees in in Cape Town and discovered fossil tree stubs that are 240 million years old!!! Then I came back to my room and meditated. I feel very grounded as I say goodbye to thid tough year . Roll on 20226, how do you feel?

Sad news lovelies but not unexpected, little Jack, my best mate for the last 17 years and 3 months, has finally given up his fight to live forever. He had an incredibly calm and relaxed passing in my arms and I thank him for the joy he gave me during his very long doggy life, photo bombing my videos and just being the best dog ever! It’s a very empty house now but I’m celebrating his amazing life and remembering all the fun he had living by the beach and chasing Sox the Fox right to the end. So don’t be sad, just be happy he had such a great, long life and didn’t suffer. (I’ll share lots of videos of him living his best life on this Sunday’s vlog , link in bio⬆️)

How the other half live! This first photo was taken in the Sterling Suite    I wasn’t staying in this 10k a night suite!...

How the other half live! This first photo was taken in the Sterling Suite I wasn’t staying in this 10k a night suite! (I take you on a tour in my latest vlog, link in bio⬆️) But I have history that makes this hotel part of my youth and very special to me…….
➡️My first job at 18 was across the road at the BBC. I worked in a department called News Information!
➡️ The Beeb taught me to touch type on a typewriter like this one in the Langham Club. I still type really fast and hate using my thumbs to type in here…..
➡️The BBC Club was just across the road where the Langham is. I spent many a happy evening there! (After the war the BBC bought the building to use as offices)
➡️ So, to this day The Langham is still very special to me and I save up for an annual stay. They’re very good to me and always throw in extras, like brekkie and dinner …….
➡️ And on this visit I was gifted the most amazing facial at the Chuan Spa.
My 2 night stay was like a proper city break and much needed after looking after Jack through the winter! Many thanks to Wendy for the fab first photo and my very special stay. I always feel like I’m coming home and it’s the people who make it so special.
This is not an Ad and I payed for my stay.

I’ve hardly been out of my trakkies this week due to stupid virus that came back after my visit to London (much better now) so here’s one I made earlier! I love this shot taken HQ last year when I was lucky enough to attend one of their workshops with my new iPhone 15 plus. I also got to wear this amazing coat out of their dressing up box! Have a wonderful weekend and may it be full of colour!

Experimenting with new Instagram filters and a new haircut. On my way to London Town for a fab 2 night getaway. Too excited as I haven’t been anywhere since the end of November ‘cause of poor old Jack. He’s happy with my neighbour Ray who has cooked him a chicken!
Thank you Adele Brighton.
Love my short look.

Blue Monday? Do one! The sun is shining, I’m wearing a vest and my top is a shirt from the vintage collection at Top Shop - a hundred years ago! So all’s good in the hood, just need to put my huge winter coat on! Have a lovely day, it can only get better ❤️
