Winter wellbeing

Dear Sam, Thank you so much for the sunshine and colour in your last post - it was just what I needed on a gloomy January day! Like you, I've been thinking about winter wellbeing and how to maximise health and happiness when the weather is cold and the days are short. I love citrussy scents, too, and…

What to do with clutter after you’ve cleared it?

Dear Sam,   I’m glad to hear the gingerbread went down well. I’ll look for some more recipes for us to try before long. Perhaps something savoury next time. How are you getting along with cutting down on using your phone? I’ve just had an unplanned Digital Detox as we’ve been to see G’s Mum…

A helping hand

Dear Sam, How are you?  I've been a bit under the weather with a cold this week and I wanted to thank you for telling me about the TED talks. Being poorly has given me the perfect opportunity to put my feet up and make myself feel better by listening to the inspirational speakers. In…

Ideas to change the world

Dear Claire.     I’m glad you had a happy trip to Italy, and thanks so much for the link to Librivox. What a nice volunteer opportunity.

A word in your ear

Books about women

Dear Sam,   I'm really pleased to hear you had a good time in Italy - so did we! We're just back from Sicily and I enjoyed playing Free Rice to pass the time while we were travelling. I think it's a great idea to combine a game with such a good cause, so thank you…

Language lessons

fun ways to improve if you're learning a language

Dear Sam,   Welcome home! I hope you had a fantastic time in Italy? I know you’d been learning some Italian before your holiday - did you get a chance to try it out? Following your good example, we’ve also just booked a short trip to Italy later this year, so I've been brushing up…
