I know it’s controversial, and I know I’ve written a lot about eating more vegetables – and my own almost entirely plant-based diet – but recently I’ve started eating more meat. After years of reading and research, I’ve come to the conclusion that a little good quality meat isn’t the dietary bogeyman which will decimate…
FOUR TIPS FOR AGEING EYES, BAKED MACKEREL AND YOUR INVITATION
An optician once told me that our eyes are only designed to last about 40 years – the maximum lifespan of our ancestral forebears – and after that they’re on borrowed time. So if we hope to live well into our eighties, nineties (and beyond?!) we need to focus (as it were) on looking after…
AGEING WELL ON YOUR SUMMER STAYCATION, RASPBERRY CAKE – AND INVITATIONS!
This is the summer of the staycation – while some are bravely jetting off, I’m not one of them. There are so many wonderful things to do on our doorsteps here in the UK, many of which are corona compliant and can help us age well too. In my day-to-day life I juggle TV producing,…
HOW TO BEAT STRESS, ENHANCE NEUROPLASTICITY AND A FABULOUS TREAT FOR YOU
These long months of uncertainty have left me feeling stressed and often unrested, even after a decent night’s sleep. How’s our current state of semi-normality impacting you? Reconnecting with life as much as we can, while knowing that it’s not the same, creates a constant, low thrum of stress. Everybody is facing uncertainty and challenge…
WHAT TO EAT THIS SUMMER
A quick post before I don my walking boots and head off to the South Downs. When I’m not walking, I’ll be eating plenty of sage, large handfuls of capers, a little fish, and lots of plant-based protein. Here’s why…Let’s start with pickled capers which have long been a favourite ingredient of mine. A recent…
WHY WRITING BY HAND IS GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN, A PRIZE DRAW TO SPUR YOU ON, AND SIMPLE STUFFED PEPPERS
Has anyone else noticed the surging number of people writing in public? In London, where I walk beside the River Thames every day, I’ve become increasingly aware of people sitting on benches, writing. Not playing with their phones or ipads, but writing by hand in note books and on paper. I began lamenting the loss…
THE AGE-WELL JOY OF HUMAN CONNECTION
We celebrated my husband’s birthday last week, catching up with a few – a very few – old friends, like Annabel, in our garden. We spaced them out chronologically and physically across the afternoon and evening. It was both lovely and slightly strange. But the joy of seeing people face to face after so long!…
FOLLOW THE DATA: MUST WE? AND AN ESCAPIST GIVEAWAY…
I don’t know about you but I’ve become increasingly disillusioned with science – facts, data, graphs. Funny really, because this blog was predicated on a belief in science. To be honest, my loss of faith began before COVID. I suspect the pandemic merely confirmed what I was beginning to suspect. Of course there are lots…
SEEKING POSITIVITY AND FOODS WHICH MAKE US HAPPY
I’ve been thinking a lot about positivity this week, and trying to stay optimistic in testing times. 2020 is shaping up to be a year of seismic shocks, but I’m hopeful we can face up to the need for change in so many areas of our lives. Our treatment of the environment, our health care…
WHY BERRIES ARE YOUR BEST FRIENDS IN LOCKDOWN
If you look at our Instagram or Facebook feed, you’ll realise I’m very excited by the start of berry season! I love English berries and am thrilled when they arrive in the shops. Their blazing colour, sweet perfume and promise of summer never fail to make me happy. And this Summer, in particular, we’re being…
