Beaucoup d’indignation à l’ègard de l’auteure français, Yann Moix who has declared that he is “incapable” of loving women aged over 50, claiming they are “invisible” to him. I see from the flurry on social media that we are all […]
I have just been sent a press release via a friend from a dubious source (a dating site for married and attached people looking to have an affair – really, really not good at all) but nevertheless I was interested […]
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY. Although it’s not so happy when you appreciate the focus this year. According to the World Economic Forum, the gender gap won’t entirely close until 2186. Not sure how they’ve worked that out, but that is […]
Did you go to the march yesterday? How cool was that to see hundreds of thousands of women throughout the world turning streets into a sea of pink pussy hats yesterday, sending the first major message of grassroots opposition to […]
According to hospital figures, there has been a significant increase in attacks against people over 50, particularly women, putting a stop to the 7 year decline in serious violent crime in England and Wales. Attacks on women over 50 has […]
Whilst of course it is essential to use International Women’s Day to highlight the plight of women around the world who are struggling for whatever reason; the stolen Boko Harem Girls – it’s been over a year – where are […]
Calling all female engineers. PLEASE redesign a more female friendly Mammogram machine. I had a routine Mammogram yesterday. Honestly, I do wonder why they haven’t yet invented a slightly more comfortable machine than simply shoving each breast into a press. […]
Today is International Women’s Day, the day the United Nations has allocated to observe the triumphs and challenges faced by women around the world. Not only is it to recognise factors such as law and order, food and shelter, work, […]
My daughter’s friend Flora, an upcoming photographer is about to head back to South America. I am hoping she is going to send me regular photos of her travels. Below is a photograph she took in Sucre of these two […]
This is unquestionably our favourite song of the moment – I am always marginally surprised when 85,416,471 people have seen it before I have (although I have been watching it all week….):-
This is fantastic – what a great way to show women that we are more beautiful than we think…..you have to watch it:- Afterwards, if you’ve got time you need to watch this one – it’s the male piss-take version […]
THANK YOU to The Sanctuary Spa in Covent Garden for inviting me to spend the day there with some friends. What an amazingly luxurious day we had. So lovely to be right in the heart of busy London and yet reclining on sun loungers or swimming in their famous pool or having a treatment. It's like a rabbit warren when you get in there - all under the streets of London are rooms filled with hidden treasures.
Here are my two friends on arrival - literally round the corner from Covent Garden tube or a five minute walk from Leicester Square:- 
The spa first opened its doors in 1977 and was created by a US Choreographer as a gift of love to his ballerina wife and it soon became a magical retreat for the dancers of the Royal Ballet to come and relax after training. I think I first went there in the 80's and again in the 90's and not much has changed.
Here is the main relaxation area:- 
This is me on the swing:- 
(not really). It's most definitely something you should do for a day with girlfriends - so relaxing and rejuvenating. For the last 35 years they have continued offering their facilities to women whilst allowing them to enjoy precious time together with friends and family. Sanctuary Spa is a fun place for enjoyment, whether you’re indulging in a glass of bubbly while lounging by the serene Koi Carp pools, applying a Moroccan mud mask or feeling aches and pains dissolve under the skilled fingers of their therapists.
