I’m a great fan of Nora Ephron (such a brilliant writer) and especially her book, ‘I Feel Bad About My Neck and other thoughts on being a woman’. I’ve just got it off the shelf and flicked through it. For me, two of her pieces stand out: there’s the one about
You know I always say, do as you please and wear what you want! That rule also applies to hair – you do as you feel you should. Because, only you will know when it’s right to go grey and au naturel. And especially, don’t listen to anyone extolling the
It’s two years now since I had my hair dyed. It was October 2016 when I last had my roots coloured, and I look at past photos (here’s one taken a few years ago) and I think, gosh, that was a bit yellow and artificial. Not that I thought that at

Hello again I thought I’d have some fun and answer some questions that are going round the blogosphere (started with the Blended Blog, I believe). Look, I read this stuff so you don’t have to! But rather like another blogger (Anna from Mutton Style and I) I quite enjoyed thinking
Hello again Gosh what a shock. Got home Friday evening after a very normal on-time flight (Toulouse to Gatwick) but I’m just not a good traveller. I know it’s a short flight as opposed to trans-atlantic flights but, although I don’t dislike flying I don’t like it either. And feeling
The look. OK, my very good friend Catherine of AtypicaI60 is so honest. On her blog she often shows her face and hair how it is. We see her spots, wrinkles and blotches and hear about the travails and trials of her thinning hair. So, I’m going to attempt to
