At the start of the Covid-19 lockdown I imagined myself getting so much done. Decorating, cleaning, writing and finishing off my 5 year old cross stitch, to name a few.

My weight loss journey has come to a grinding halt. I just don’t seem to be able to get back properly on track. But it isn’t all bad, while I haven’t lost weight in a month, I haven’t put any on either. Slimming World have gone virtual, and I’ve discovered the joy of Zoom. Each …

I have a feature on this blog for websites that provide advice and support on eating well and keeping healthy. Over the past few weeks I’ve pulled back from promoting new ones.

I’m quite a lover of foods that are green. So, have no problem in eating my greens as it were. Particular favourites are cabbage (including spring green), leeks and broccoli.

When it comes to exercise, I am not a natural. Style and coordination don’t come easily either. I’ve never been a runner, I hated having to run when I was at school and I’m hardly going to start doing it now I’m in my 50’s. But I do like to keep fit and healthy and …
