It's been a while, so I thought it was time for a reintroduction.

I'm Ellie, I'm 54 and now post menopausal. That doesn't mean to say that all the symptoms have disappeared though.

I live my partner Mr. M, we met on holiday and are loving life by the sea together.

I love sitting in coffee shops either people watching or reading a good book. I exercise normally 3 times a week - strength training, zumba and barre pilates.

Most of my time is spent working in the day job and organising events for a community of local midlife women.

The community has become so much more than I thought it would be and I am so grateful for those who came along to that first meeting in February last year.

I will post more about it in the coming weeks, but I want to say we have all become good friends and help and support each other.

Thank you for following me, I hope you will stick around and see what's going on.

I'm really excited to be working alongside Fig & Bramble and Rhinefield House Hotel to bring you a wonderful afternoon of flower arranging and afternoon tea.

This is an opportunity to meet with other like minded women and wear your summer dress in beautiful surroundings doing something creative.

🌸 Something a little different this month…

Instead of our usual meetup, we're heading to The Cave wine bar in Milford on Sea for a proper Spring Social — wine, cocktails, tapas, and great company.
It's the perfect excuse to get out, meet some lovely women, and welcome the season in style. Whether you're a regular or you've been thinking about joining us for a while, come along! 🥂

Spaces are limited — so grab your spot before it goes.

I would love to have your feedback!

I would love to be able to provide the opportunity for lots of midlife women to come together. One of those ways is with a coffee morning.

I would really appreciate it if you could complete this survey to help me know when the best time is to do this. Just click on the link.

Many thanks in advance.

NEW!!!!

Join us at Thrive Together on Tuesday 10th March 10am-12pm for our very first Coffee Conversations.

We are being joined by Kate Donohoe from Boom Weight Loss and Fitness. She will be talking about strength training and I think this is such an important conversation for women in midlife.

This isn’t about becoming a bodybuilder.
It’s about bone health, confidence, independence and feeling capable in your own body.

We’ll have coffee from 10am, then she’ll join us at 11 for a relaxed talk and Q&A.

Just 12 spaces so it stays friendly and intimate.
Cost: £8

Tomorrow night is Thrive Together… and we’re celebrating our first birthday.

A year ago this was just an idea.
Now it’s real friendships, shopping days, shared stories, and women supporting each other through very real life.

I feel incredibly proud of what we’ve created together.

Come and celebrate with us 🍾

Time: Monday 16th February 7pm.

Where: The Beach House, Milford on Sea.

I look forward to seeing you there

Today I spent the day out shopping with a few of the women from Thrive Together and it really made me smile.

Over the past year this group has grown into something more than just meetings — it’s become a place where genuine friendships are forming, conversations flow easily and everyone gets to be fully themselves.

At our next meeting we’ll be making plans for the rest of the year — more social events, more shared experiences and more time together.
This is what community can look like.

If you’ve been thinking about joining but haven’t quite taken the step yet, know that you’d be very welcome. 💛

✨ Thrive Together Group Meet-Up for Midlife Women ✨

🗓 Monday 16th February

⏰ 7pm

Beach House, Milford on Sea.

If you’re a woman in midlife and January has felt a bit long, heavy or quietly overwhelming, this is your invitation to something lighter.

We’re getting together for our Thrive Together group meeting — a relaxed, welcoming space for midlife women where there’s room for honesty, connection and laughter.

It’s supportive but not serious. Gentle but not dull. Expect easy conversation, shared experiences, a few knowing nods and probably a laugh or two along the way. You don’t need to prepare anything, just come as you are.

I’d love to see you there.
