Products, health claims, trends and ideas. I try them, look at the evidence and work out what’s useful, what isn’t and what probably wasn’t worth the bother.

Former newspaper journalist, PR professional, mum and the woman asking rather too many questions around here.
At 50, I’m interested in what happens when we stop accepting everything we’re told and start looking a little more closely.
MORE ABOUT ME →
Nine days at the Mitsis Royal Mare, with family beach days, moussaka, cats and a little midlife indulgence.
A log cabin, Loch Lubnaig, canoeing, cycling, Persian barbecue and an unreasonable number of wasps.
A family stay in Rhodes, looking beyond the glossy photographs to see what a hotel actually feels like with a child.
I’m interested in thoughtful family travel, hotels, destinations and experiences that give readers something worth talking about.
WORK WITH ME →
Grief does not arrive with a timetable. Mine arrived the day before I was due to start a new job, when my mum died at 65. I did what I suspect many women do. I carried on. I went back to work, answered emails and tried to be useful, while quietly falling apart. It took me rather longer than I care to admit to realise that keeping busy is not the same thing as coping.
