As mothers, our mental to-do lists are endless. We track school schedules, plan family meals, and make sure everyone else’s health checks are up to date, usually leaving our own needs at the very bottom of the pile. For many mums, dental health is the first thing to be sidelined. Between the calcium depletion that often happens during pregnancy and the sheer exhaustion of the toddler years, our…
Excellent article in New Science Magazine about the brain, its functions, new theories and studies. It actually does your head in a bit because of the complicated topic of thinking and what we know about the brain. Please excuse the pun but it’s mind boggling.

You’ve slathered on the factor 50, packed the sun hats, and wrestled the kids into their swimsuits. The pool is sparkling, the sea is inviting, and you’ve finally found a sun lounger that doesn’t have a suspicious stain.

One of the quieter stresses of moving to London is that healthcare can remain unresolved long after the more visible parts of relocation are complete. The flat is secured, the commute is mapped, the office introduction is over, and the first few weekends have been spent learning the city.

I am over 50, firmly in the menopause camp, and navigating that delightful phase where my skin feels like parchment, my nails snap if I look at them wrong, and my hair has taken on the texture of a well?used broom.
