Mums Going Grey – Don’t call me Granny!
Jan 06 2023
We tweezer them out as long as we can, don’t we, till it becomes a losing battle. Then the vast majority of us colour. No question. I used to, till the beauticians at hospital recommended no more toxic chemicals be used on our hair, after the second block of chemo left it lank and lifeless. I’ve been natural ever since and 8 years on, I’m 75% white, according to my hairdresser. She has gently suggested some colour, and my friends have been dropping hints about how ‘it’s sulphur-free now’ and it ‘takes 10 years off’. So I would become a convincing 40 year old.

I’m back introducing Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone to 4-6 year old children with home-made illustrations.

Mums with breast cancer – a personal experience
Jan 04 2023
It was a nasty old time, being pregnant with breast cancer.
The lump was missed on my first visit to the GP. She had just checked me in to a hospital for the birth and my 10 minutes was up. After a hasty feel, she thought it was milk ducts. But over some months the lump got bigger.

Blu-Ray review: Lyle Lyle Crocodile
Jan 02 2023
I am quite pleased about Lyle Lyle Crocodile early Blu-Ray release. I have loved watching it again. In the bonus features, there’s a sing-along version of the songs that is fabulous. I had so much fun interviewing filmmakers Will Speck and Josh Gordon behind Lyle Lyle Crocodile, possibly the best family movie of 2022, based on the children’s story of the same name and its prequel The House on East 88th Street by Bernard Waber. Not only these directors are talented but they are supported by top Hollywood star Javier Bardem as well as the sweetest sing-song writer of the moment Shawn Mendes. I have laughed and giggled throughout the screening.
