My girls were lucky to remember their great-grandmother quite well. My daughters were, however, too young to be much interested in her life story or her family history. Should the time come for them to want to know more, I hope they will be grateful that I spent many fascinating hours with her over several months before she died, recording her telling the story of her life. To my shame, I’ve never fully transposed the recordings, but it’s wonderful to hear her voice and to know that her story has been preserved for future generations. She, in turn, was equally mindful that my grandfather’s life and history should be recorded (he was a politician and active in public life) so she set about the mammoth task of compiling and writing…

I ’ve had an idea for Woman’s Weekly to expand into a new market – a magazine for the mature man! I’ve been trying (and struggling) to find an all-round magazine for my 82-year-old dad. He doesn’t have a particular hobby and many of the men’s titles already out there seem too young. The new magazine could include recipes, short stories, which my dad loves to read, and a bit of gardening. There could even be a column from Mr Rosie on the back page. I’m wondering what you’d call it – Man’s Monthly? Gent’s Journal? Food for thought, but in the meantime, my search continues… Julie Harford, Carmarthenshire Great idea, Julie! We love to hear from you, so do get in touch if you have something to say…

ELLIE PARK-TOPPING TOSHACK ‘My son’s dopey old dog.’ KAREN STEAD ‘My two-year-old granddaughter said her gingerbread man was sad because she’d eaten his face off!’ AVRIL COLLIER ‘I was clearing up after wallpapering, washing the floor with a mop and bucket and I managed to put the mop in the bucket of wallpaper paste instead of the bucket of water. I had a good old giggle!’ PATRICIA MARY HEWITSON ‘Watching a little boy jump in puddles.’ GAYEL PORTER ‘My cats playing. Their antics are so funny.’…

I had one of those birthdays a few weeks ago, one I’d have loved to shut my mind to, but the family wanted to make a big fuss. ‘Three-quarters of a century!’ they exclaimed. ‘Isn’t that wonderful? Something to really celebrate…’ ‘Well, no actually,’ I demurred. ‘It isn’t. I’d much rather let it slip by with hardly a mention. I mean, it doesn’t even end in a nought.’ In the event, we had a family dinner, all three generations, very happy and jolly. I was allowed to enjoy the moment, laughing and not feeling my age, avoiding any talk of milestones. You’d think that having reached such a grand old age, I’d have the good sense to begin to act it, instead of letting my brain still trick me into…

My Healthy Life Professor Mark Whiteley, internationally renowned vascular specialist and founder of The Whiteley Clinic, reveals how he boosts his health and wellbeing. My ‘go-to' remedy My father used to tell me that when I get run-down or catch a cold, to cook a big steak, drink the juice of six large oranges and have a glass of port. This followed by a good sleep always makes me feel much better! My favourite meal Bacon and eggs. Eggs are the cheapest and best source of protein – with very high levels of vitamins and nutrients, too. They’re so versatile and easy to cook. I prefer unsmoked bacon because I’m convinced that it’s probably healthier than the smoked variety. How I keep fit and healthy Going on long walks listening…

High fell walk HELVELLYN At over 3,100ft, mighty Helvellyn is not only the Lake District’s third highest peak but England’s, too. There are several paths to its summit, including the more straightforward route up from Thirlmere, to the west, and the challenging climbs along Striding Edge and Swirral Edge. None is for the faint-hearted, and great care must be taken. The tiny track weaving its way along the steep, rugged ridge of Striding Edge is little more than three feet wide in places with a huge drop either side. But on reaching the summit, where a stone shelter provides welcome protection from the wind whistling across this mountain plateau, walkers are greeted with wonderful panoramic views. While there, you can explore the rocky terrain where, in 1926, John Leeming and…

Another mint humbug?’ ‘What happened to the liquorice allsorts?’ ‘There’s only the pink and blue bobbly ones left, and you don’t like them.’ ‘Of course I don’t like them. Nobody likes the pink and blue bobbly ones. They feel so odd when you bite them. Give us a mint humbug then. There’s not much else to do, is there?’ I should warn you, I suppose, that this will not be the usual action-packed episode. There will be no simmering tensions at the charity shop. Mrs Beasley, our manager, will not be fighting off a coup attempt. Neither will Mr Dear be discovering something in the loft that will lend itself to a hilarious misunderstanding. I would also be very surprised if strangers were to arrive in the garden unexpectedly and…

Catrin Quinn was left damaged and reclusive after her own two sons died while in the care of her best friend, Rachel. Now she’s determined to join in the search for the disappearing children – and must confront her horrific past along the way. Little Black Lies by Sharon Bolton (£14.99, Bantam Press)…

Signs that a plant is in need of repotting include roots on the surface of the compost or growing out of the drainage holes. When moving a plant to a larger pot, it’s important not to use one that is too large – just one size larger is ideal. Over-potting can prove fatal as large volumes of unused compost will soon become stagnant and can result in root rot. 1 Put a layer of crocks, pebbles or broken polystyrene in the bottom of a clean pot to allow for free drainage, then add sufficient potting compost so that the plant will be at the same depth as in its previous container. 2 Remove the plant from its pot. Place the palm of your hand on the surface of the potting…

Where I went Perched on the Pacific Coast, this iconic California city is home to terrific architecture, friendly people – and breathtaking hills! What I did Avoided the slopes with a hop-on, hop-off tour bus, included in our ticket to see the infamous Alcatraz Island, where prisoners like Al Capone were incarcerated 1.5 miles from the mainland. Out of the city, another highlight was a wine-tasting tour through several vineyards in nearby Sonoma (book at attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk attraction-tickets-direct.co.uk). And we watched the San Francisco Giants play baseball at the oceanside AT&T Park stadium with hot dogs in hand. Where I stayed At the Edwardian-style Nob Hill Inn, in the upscale Nob Hill area. Tea and sherry is served in the parlour every afternoon from 4pm – fab! Visit nobhillinn.com to book.…

Six million of us tune into each series of Who Do You Think You Are? , following a different celebrity each week as they make the often emotional journey into their family’s past. ‘Most start off vowing, ‘I’m not going to cry,” says series producer Kathryn Taylor. ‘But many are often surprised by how emotionally connected they feel to an ancestor who lived long ago.’ Viewers only see one series a year, but the team’s producers, researchers and genealogists are hard at it all year round. Now firmly settled in its 12th run, the programme has guided Billy Connolly, Barbara Windsor, David Suchet, Twiggy, Sue Johnston and others to the roots of the saints and sinners, poverty and prosperity in their family trees. And it’s inspired many people to do…

Sales of tea are going down, and no wonder. Hardly anybody seems to know how to make it properly. Certainly nobody overseas. It’s enough to drive you to stronger drink. You have to make tea with boiling water, yet most restaurants abroad serving tea bring you a cup of water which was once boiled, together with a tea bag to dunk in it, way too late to create anything drinkable. In the film The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which is set almost entirely in India, the opening scene takes Maggie Smith’s character to America, largely so she can berate her hosts for mucking up her cuppa in this way. Perhaps it is understandable that they are a bit iffy where tea is concerned. A symbolic act in the American…

Step 1 Dress, £45, sizes 8-24, M&S • One of our favourite dresses of the season – the dark print is slimming in itself.

Her daughter’s weighing out the ingredients for the birthday cake. There’s mess everywhere: scatters of flour, drifts of cocoa, trails of syrup, beads of treacle. It never used to be this messy, but then, she’s never made it on her own. Which feels wrong. And it’s a week before her birthday. Too early, really, to be making the cake. Steph tries not to think about that. She tries not to look, tries to listen to the radio, to pay some attention to the work she’s meant to be reading and correcting. And doesn’t succeed with any of it. There’s a wail from Millie. “I forgot to take the eggs out of the fridge!” Is this true panic or just mild frustration? Steph plumps for the latter and doesn’t spring out…

The vulva (our external female genitalia) consists of the skin-covered external labia (lips) and the internal labia, clitoris and urethra (urine pipe), and vaginal entrances, covered by delicate membranes. Vulval disorders can be embarrassing and unpleasant, but are often easily solved. However, if simple measures don’t work quickly, or you have a vaginal discharge, consult your GP or practice nurse. Lumps The labial skin contains lubricating sebaceous glands that may block, producing a skin-coloured/ yellowish swelling (cyst). Like hair follicles, this may become infected. The lump will be red, hot and sore, and you’ll need antibiotics and/or a minor operation to drain any pus. Recurrent boils are sometimes a sign of diabetes or a sweat gland disorder, hidradenitis suppurativa, which can cause scarring. Bartholin’s glands, at the vaginal entrance, may…

Tell your family to stop fussing Q I’ve had a difficult time health-wise over the past few years, but thankfully I’m now fully recovered. I’ve been well for nearly a year, but none of my family seems to get that. They’re always checking if I’m able to do things or trying to dampen my plans. I don’t know any more than they do if my illness will reoccur, but I can’t live wrapped in cotton wool forever. Janey, Doncaster A Having had a period of time when you were unwell, it’s understandable they’re concerned. But it sounds like they haven’t quite caught up with the present situation or they simply don’t believe it. What you do know is that they want to look after you and support you. So if…

How do you like your tea? I’m not drinking a lot of tea at the moment. Can we have a coffee? Who'd you most like to have a coffee with? Gareth Edwards, Gareth Bale, Rob Brydon, Philip Glenister and Andrew Howard. They were on my team in the recent golf Celebrity Cup at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport. We had a good laugh together. You're an ambassador for BulliesOut. What does the organisation mean to you? I was bullied myself, so I know first-hand how horrific it can be. Listening to young people’s stories is so emotional. Often, the biggest problem is they’re afraid to talk about it. It’s important to show them there’s support out there. What were you like at school? I was a bit of a…

HELP! I’m prone to catching colds at this time of year. I love having porridge for breakfast (and it’s a great way to help reduce my cholesterol), but I wonder if you can recommend something to serve with it to help boost my immune system? Susie Brown, via email DON’T WORRY Try making a fruity compote. This one is fast and easy to make and it’s lovely to serve on its own for breakfast or dessert or served with porridge. This recipe makes enough for one generous portion – or two to accompany porridge: Peel and chop 2 apples, then add 50g blueberries, ½cm grated root ginger and 100ml unsweetened almond milk. Microwave on High for 2 mins. Serve warm sprinkled with cinnamon. Got a burning cookery question? A problem…

Lynn Jackson, 64, Gravesend Tell us about your look… I like a bit of everything when it comes to clothes – if I see something I like, I’ll buy it. I shop all over the place. I tend to wear muted colours in the autumn and winter and brights when it’s warmer. This dress is from Wallis and my jacket is from Primark. And the best bit of your body?

Jeremy Paxman The interviewer cried when he discovered his great-great grandmother had been left to raise nine children in a one-room flat in Glasgow after her husband died at 42. Her application for ‘poor relief’ was revoked after an anonymous letter-writer told the authorities she had an illegitimate daughter. Lesley Garrett The singer’s great-great grandfather was suspected of killing his wife by swapping her medication for carbolic acid. The coroner recorded her death as accidental, but his son and daughter-in-law cut contact with him, suggesting they might not have believed his innocence. Anne Reid In this series, the actress discovers a great-great-great grandfather John. Census records showed his children lived with their grandparents. Why? Their mother had died and John had been deported to Tasmania as a convict. Anne was…

Where I’ve been... Amsterdam. I nearly went there when I was 20. After... several years, I have finally made it. What a brilliant city. And what a pity I didn’t get there earlier. Who I’ve met...

A fantastic array of Rembrandts and Van Goghs in Amsterdam’s museum quarter. What I’ve bought... A pair of football boots. Surely my last?…

Idon’t know why I went straight out and got a mutt after Belinda left. Maybe it was an act of rebellion, since she’d always refused point blank to let me get a dog. We all have different ways of dealing with rejection. One friend chopped all her ex’s clothes up into little bits and left them for him scattered on the front lawn. Another took his ex’s car and left it 500 miles away in a car park. She knew he’d taken it, but he only told her where it was once it had racked up a huge parking bill. Jayne said she regretted chopping up the clothes. All it left her with was a pair of blunt scissors, blisters on her thumbs and a heavy weight of guilt when…

Cancer Genes Tests The Oxford NHS Genomic Medicine Centre is to be the first one in the country to test the genomes of people who have cancer or rare diseases. The volunteers, suggested by their doctors, will be offered whole genome sequencing (analysis of their genetic code) as part of the 100,000 Genomes Project. It’s hoped their blood tests and tissue samples could provide valuable information about genetic mutations that may help to improve detection and treatment. True Or False? Sixteen million GP surgery appointments may be wasted in England each year. True, according to a Midlands survey, which says one in 20 patients fails to show up, putting even more pressure on overstretched appointments. If we can’t make it, cancelling in good time means someone else can be seen.…

Dear Keren I turned 50 three years ago and now I feel so lost, empty and uncertain. My children have all left home and made lives of their own. I’ve had two failed marriages and been in and out of jobs but not found my niche – I’m currently a senior carer in a care home. I want to travel, but my finances don’t allow it, although I’ve been on three coach trips to Italy on my own. So where do I go from here? I’d rather not be working full-time, but that doesn’t pay the rent and bills. I’ve already downsized to make things easier financially and have had periods off sick from the stress and exhaustion. What’s more, I have no interest in men as I’ve had bad…

Q During the festive season I’d like to put on a family film show. How can I do that? The latest digital projectors can do all that the old slide show and home movie projectors could do – and more. They can splash your photos or videos on a wall or screen at really impressive sizes and most are easily portable. Q Which technology is best? The main technologies are Digital Light Projection (DLP) and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Cinemas almost all use DLP, but either can give good results. The drawback to both systems is they need an expensive light bulb that can generate so much heat that they require a noisy fan. ViewSonic’s LightStream PJD7 is a portable DLP unit designed to show a bright, clear image in…

Aries 21 March - 20 April Someone close is undermining your confidence. No matter what you do or say, you will not find favour with them. Instead of trying to please them, why not aim to please yourself? Modernising your thinking will give you the drive you feel you need to try new things. For more, call 0901 609 2591* Taurus 21 April - 21 May Trying to convince others to agree with your opinion will be an exercise in futility. Someone who isn’t as ambitious as you’d like won’t respond to your attempts to get them a better job. Don’t try to pressurise them, it will be useless. You should focus on enjoying yourself.
