I haven’t done a “life” update for a while. To be honest, it’s all been a bit of a shit show of late. A number of family dramas that are all too sensitive to talk about and I’m single again […]
For many, the last 18 months has been a horrendous experience and in some cases it continues to be so. There are those who are still grieving, those who are still angry or sad, those with long Covid, many who […]
A few years ago I wrote a post called “Love at First Sight for the over 50’s” all about how love at first sight happens more often, the older you get. I wasn’t totally convinced about relationships after divorce and felt […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I was planning to give up wine and just drink gin all month for Dry Ginuary and maybe champagne so that I could argue that I’m allowed to drink things that have fizz, but I’ve already failed, […]
HAPPY BELATED CHRISTMAS TO ANYONE READING THIS. Now we are in the much needed quiet zone between Christmas and New Year, with many of us slightly befuddled that our New Year’s Eve plans are allowed to go ahead. No doubt […]

I think I managed to hit the peak of my professional Pilates career during my Zoom class for my friends this week. We were in the middle of doing the side plank and I had my phone in front of […]
WEEK 12 OF LONDON LOCKDOWN This is all still very surreal. Sometimes it’s easy to forget momentarily about the global pandemic for a minute as we slowly open up, but that’s only until you get glared at by a fellow […]
