One of my all time favourite stories here, beautifully laid out in Best magazine. Charlotte took a trip to India to retrace her Grandfather’s incredible journey during World War Two. Charlotte never got to meet Bruno, her grandfather, as he died in combat, but taking this trip helped her feel connected to the great man himself. An inspiring, poignant story to mark Remembrance Sunday this weekend.

A fabulous trio of women sharing the stories of their lives as Britain's best tribute acts. In Take a Break here but loved by a few magazines!
It was great to write this report for Best magazine about good divorce - my parents had a ‘good divorce’ back in the 1980s and I am living testament to the benefit to the children! It is possible to divorce well, if you are both committed to putting your children, kindness and what remains of your friendship first. Do that, and you can divorce without huge costs, bitterness and acrimony. Simple!
Read MoreMy sister sparked the idea for this feature but being so gorgeously happy, alone, living her solo life of adventure. I went on a hunt for women just like her and I sure did find them! Here they are in Best - Amy, who is currently travelling the world alone, Mangala, who lives happily alone and Ebonie, who has mastered the art of saying no when she needs to be alone. Wonderful, inspiring, brilliant women.
Read MoreHere I am attempting to de-stress for Woman’s Own magazine. I can tell you that yoga is wonderful and my husband trying to massage my shoulders with his claw-like fingers, is not. Oh, to have more time for yoga! I also enjoyed doing a puzzle. Methodical, ultimately pointless, yet rewarding. Good, clean, honest fun.
Read MoreI’ve loved working with Carolyne over the years. We have published her story many times as it’s so amazing! Here she is in Closer, telling the story of how she became a mum at the age of 58. Carolyne’s beautiful son, Javeed, is growing up happy, knowing his mum did everything she could to make him. That matters more than age. He is loved, he is cared for, he is so wanted. Gorgeous story!
