Kids, you can’t live with ‘em…and you definitely can’t pick their clothes or their hair cuts. Every time I shop with my daughter, the tutting begins. And I don’t mean the odd little sigh of disapproval, or a little long-suffering grimace of disappointment. I mean the full-blown moaning of a young girl who at the age of twelve is entirely misunderstood. No, not just misunderstood but ignored and neglected by a mother with no fashion sense. To her, shopping is a terrible indignity, to me an enduring frustration. I can’t pick anything that she even remotely approves of.

Old men and golf fans had an exciting weekend. Since I happen to be both, it was particularly exciting. Tom Watson, a 59-year old man with a hip replacement almost won The Open.

A word I use knowingly and advisedly. And, unlike Tom, I probably won’t play in The Open any time soon. Sadly, my performance doesn’t always measure up. But that’s the great thing about golf – it’s humbling for everyone. An inexperienced player can have a great round and a scratch golfer can play so badly that they almost want to give up the game completely. Read more…

Today, we’re inviting you to get involved with The Prostate Cancer Charity, a charity that promotes awareness, offers support and encourages research into a cancer that kills one man every hour.

Summer means…more sun for one thing. If you’ve invested in a pair of Polaroid sunglasses, you’ve already got all-important UV protection and polarization for eye comfort. I think aviators are great, but I chose Jackie O for a little grown-up glamour. When you’re on holiday and wearing sunglasses all day long, it’s a good idea to make a few changes to your make-up routine. Read more…
