Coping with curls – bane or blessing – Oh for straight hair that does as it’s told. ‘Why? Curls are adorrrable’, you say. Because. The first rule of natural curls is: there IS no rule. No consistency across your scalp, and no two are the same. I get corkscrews framing my face, but at the back I’m blessed with scrub. Nor do my ringlets bond in the same way on any…
Your Clitoris and 'Cliturgy': Debunking myths and embracing sexual knowledge for women's empowerment
If we consider our clitoris as holy, (it’s felt slutty for a very long time) then there will be a liturgy surrounding its worship. The Good Sex rituals we like that we know best, our ‘Cliturgy’. It’s all very fine us knowing our clit inside out; do our partners? It’s a difficult discussion to have at the best of times, made worse by conflicting views as to how…
The Midsummer Mechanicals is appropriate for ages 6-12 and 25+; at Shakespeare’s Globe, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, till 26 August. Bestest funniest thing ever, go Go GO!
This is a comedy-for-kids spin-off from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, focussing in on Bottom & Co., the band of am-dram labourers, who are still fancying themselves as actors one year later, and have secured another…
Glasto‘s Final Roar: Hippie Vibes, Music Legends, and Life-Defining Moments Under the Stars! Day 4 – Woken up by a bass drum practising before the perf, ‘d-df … d-df… d-df…’ sounding like a heartbeat. Omg, a call to all the sleepy heads that the dance floor awaits for one final push. It reminded me of elephants communicating by sending deep sounds reverberating across the…
My (54) first Glastonbury Festival with my son (27) – Day 3 starts off gently at 11am, to bring all the fragile ravers back from their slumbers. The exhaustion is being felt as bodies are pushed far beyond the limits. A small group of us went to Martin Richter who combines classical instruments and poetry in a modern way. It was dreamy and just what we needed.

Glasto Day 2, I woke up early with the heat and light for we were blessed with good weather. No mud-baths thank goodness. Nonetheless I felt sticky and, having heard of the legendary Greenpeace showers, thought I would attempt my own Mission Impossible.

At first sight, it strikes one as another gold-encrusted piece of pointless extravagance, bordering on, I have to say, kitsch. And it cost an ‘undisclosed sum’, which means ahelluvalot. So my immediate response was disapproval, have to say. But but BUT, the Diamond Jubilee State Coach, known Down Under as the State Coach Britannia, is a treasure trove of surprises… and I…
Buckingham Palace is not somewhere I would have dared take my very young children, all those ropes to hurdle over or conga under, those priceless breakables to upend and the miles of corridors, just an open invitation for a cheeky sprint. But my recent visit to admire the Coronation display including the Coach and Coronation Robes in the State Rooms has turned my view of Buckingham Palace upside…
