One of my summer highlights is going to the the Three Friday Nights at Goodwood: eating, drinking, racing & raving!  After seeing the Rolling Stones gathering absolutely no moss at their gig this year, I am even more determined that I will keep dancing no matter how old I am……….

You know that I love fashion, love vintage & re-cycling, and love dancing & walking....but I also want to be comfortable, as well as looking fab, when it comes to shoes and sandals. (I can't do that tottering around in heels thing for more than an hour nowadays!)………

I don't usually blog about gigs but having witnessed four men in their mid-seventies with a combined age of nearly 300, having the time of their lives on stage, I just had to share this with you as one of the best examples of positive ageing I have seen in a long time......

Another yummy recipe from the day I spent with fellow blogger Sara Delaney, trying out new dishes especially for happy hormones and a healthy heart. Sara does the superb photography, I do the cooking and we both get to do the eating!  It's a very mutually beneficial arrangement!  This one is our twist on a salad nicoise, featuring salmon and silver anchovies as the heroes..........

My main rule was and still is: asking myself if I have worn this item in the last 2 years, does it fit, and do I feel fabulous wearing it? If the answer is no, it gets binned and so an awful lot of clothes went to other homes........

I love trying out new recipes, especially ones brimming with health, so to spend the day with a fabulous photographer whilst cooking an untried dish from my favourite chef, and eating it, doesn't get much better than that! Add the mix of doing this in a stylist's home and it's quite the perfect day for a nosey blogger.
