July 1, 2016 2 Comments

It’s been a stressful time in British politics.  Our political elite appear to have disintegrated in the space of a week.  As I’ve watched Tony Blair, David Cameron, Barack Obama and a host of other politicians on screen, I‘ve distracted myself with close scrutiny of their appearance.  And I’ve been struck by how quickly they’ve…

April 10, 2015 5 Comments

Have you noticed your eyesight isn’t what it used to be? Irritating isn’t it? Frightening even.

WHY COFFEE IS YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND – COFFEE & CHOCOLATE BRAINIES

March 13, 2015 13 Comments

Coffee.  To drink or not to drink? That is the question. 2015 kicked off with another spate of headlines on the benefits of coffee.  Once demonised, coffee is increasingly proving to be the good guy when it comes to healthy ageing.  Yes, one more of those irritating u-turns that makes us want to give up…

WHY EATING WELL NEEDN’T COST A FORTUNE – SARDINE AND WATERCRESS PÂTÉ

October 27, 2014 11 Comments

As I stood in line at a supermarket checkout recently, I overheard a young couple in front of me querying the cost of their weekly shop.  The checkout lady confirmed her till was working properly and she hadn’t put any items through twice.  Then the young woman’s face crumpled.  “We were just trying to be…
