So, I’m, ahem, now at the other side of 40 (only just though, and still accepting that) and I’m becoming more aware that I need to look after certain bits of me, that need that little bit more input, as I age… I’ve started to take my skincare regimen more seriously and to make more […]

We have just been away on holiday, which involved a lot of planning and packing, of course.
