  • Welcome to my 40+ life

    Hello and welcome! For me, life really did begin at 40. This has been the decade where I’ve learned the most about myself and been brave enough to become the person I was always meant to be. Like most women in their 40s, I've been on quite a journey, and have always written about my experiences as a way of processing them.

     

    There's something very healing and powerful about sharing our stories. For years, I was the one reading blogs for comfort, guidance and support. Helping someone by sharing mine was always my dream and your comments and messages have brought me huge joy. Please subscribe by clicking at the bottom of any of my blogs so that you don't miss anything, and follow me on social media to see all my content - all links below :) .

     

    Thank you!

    I’ve spent much of the week navigating my way around what now passes as customer service. No one answers the phone anymore – they either let it ring until you give up, or you leave a message on their answer machine which you know full well will never be heard or responded to. Even worse, there’s...
    "Autumn in Yorkshire is absolutely stunning."

    I did a steady 13k last weekend to keepup the momentum from my recent ten mile run at the Yorkshire Marathon Festival. Conscious of the 'funny turn' I experienced afterwards, I ran with a drink which I sipped slowly, and ate a chocolate biscuit before I ran up a massive, horrible hill at the end....
