So good 😝

Hello you lovely lot – how’s everyone doing?

All good here, although I’ve just realised I haven’t eaten anything since 6 o’clock last night.

That’s 18 hours.

No wonder Dolly has just brought me a snail in from the garden. She must think I’m on the brink of starvation. Although my Buddha like physique would confirm otherwise.

I have had two coffees though.
The second one I put a scoop of collagen powder in.

And don’t let anyone try and convince you that you can’t taste that stuff because you absolutely can.

You can taste it.
You can smell it.

It’s like someone’s shaved a bit off a cows hoof and stirred it into your latte.

But needs must in this quest for ageing well, which actually leads me onto something.

At the weekend I heard from a lady in this little gang of ours who’s about to turn 92.

NINETY-TWO.

And honestly? I bloody love that.
It’s fantastic. And just the reminder I needed.

Because somewhere along the line the world started feeding women this daft idea that once you hit a certain age you’re supposed to quietly fade into the background.

Play nicely.
Be sensible.
Stop dreaming.
Stop wanting things.
Stop being… you.

As if we all come with some sort of “best before” date stamped on our foreheads.

Absolute nonsense.

You can still kick arse at any age.
You can still have opinions at any age.
You can still fall in love, flirt outrageously, start something new, laugh too loud, wear what you want, and decide you’re not finished with life yet.

We’re not just here to produce babies and then spend the rest of our lives tidying up after everyone else.

We’re not here to spend decades holding everything together and then quietly shuffle off into the corner once the kids grow up.

And we’re certainly not past it just because we’ve got a few more candles on the cake and knees that sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies.

Life doesn’t expire at 50.
Or 60.
Or 70.

Or clearly… 92.

If anything, this is the bit where we finally stop giving quite so many sh*ts and start living a bit more on our own terms.

So go on then…

How old are you?

Let’s see the proper age range of this gang.

Pop your number in the comments and tell us whereabouts in the world you are too.

I’ll start.

I turned 58 in February - I'm in Devon, UK, and it’s the first year I’ve ever actually fessed up to my age so I'll totally get it if you can't be arsed to disclose your digits publicly.

And to our fabulous 90-odd year old.Queenagers in here – you my darlings are absolute chuffing legends.

I hope I’m still causing mild chaos when I get there.

Big love

I'm celebrating all of you beautiful, amazing women today on International Women's Day and every day.

This is the time, the rise of the feminine, the voice of the nurturers, the roots of family, the spirit of truth, the flowering of passion's fierce independence yet tender foliage, humanity's beauty that blooms in all colors, bodies and conditions.

Listen to her words.
Be empowered by her courage.
Praise her gifts.
Protect her dignity.
Love her authenticity.
Respect her body.
Celebrate her spirit.

She is your strength, your compassion, your love.

She is your mother, your sister, your daughter, your granddaughter, your friend.

She is woman. Jody Doty

Hello you lovely lot.
As it's a special day, I've written a poem, for those of us without a man-child, to remind us the rest of life's story is ours to write - Fairy Godmother or Prince Charming optional.
Those of you in possession of a Prince - well I hope he spoils you rotten xx

Valentine’s Day and single? Ain’t life grand.
No panic shaving no forced hand-in-hand.
No squeezing in Spanx till you lose the will,
No paying silly money for a set-menu bill.

Chin hairs? Nose lashes? Ah let them sprout.
Farts uncontrollable? Leave them pop out.
Leak when you giggle? Oops tiny surprise.
We’ve earned these quirks our post-menopause prize.

We’ve survived the flushes, the fog and the rage,
The “why did I come in here?” forgetful stage.
Held it together while hormones went crazy,
Now moving on sweary, can't be arsed, not lazy.

You’re not past it my friend. This is your time to shine.
You’ve grafted for decades - having YOU time is fine.
You’re wiser, you’re sharper, you see through the guff,
And deep down you know that you’re more than enough.

So if it’s pyjamas by six and toast for your dinner,
Or a meal deal for one — an absolute winner,
You can buy your own flowers, whip off your bra,
And starfish the bed like the Queen that you are.

So please don't feel sad this Valentine’s Day,
Wondering if the good ones are taken, perhaps even gay.
Yes, the housework needs doing, you feel like a slob —
But thank your lucky stars, you’re not stuck with a nob!

Big love x
