It’s always been important to have a healthy immune system, but more so these days. There are things that you can do to maintain yours, especially as we move towards winter. Strengthening the body’s natural immunity can be done through lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise. By doing the “right things” you can protect yourself against viruses such as influenza and Covid. If you can get your immune system working well, any virus or infection you do pick up will be handled by your body more easily and the effects you feel will be reduced. The immune system has...

I have recently returned from a mindfulness retreat at The Sharpham Trust, and I have to say, I was blown away at what was on offer. The Sharpham Trust is an educational charity set in a stunning location near Totnes, Devon. I wanted to share with you all a bit about my time there, the benefits this has had on my mental health and how impressed I was with the sustainability aspect too.

Being football fans, my son and I often talk about the game, and although we support different teams, we can appreciate any team’s performances when they’re good. He supports Tottenham, and so has looked at the documentaries and videos of the new stadium.

Electric powered vehicles have been with us for a while now, and have been seen as the answer to fossil fuel power. But how planet friendly are electric cars? I’ve wondered this before and decided to do some research. Electric cars run on rechargeable lithium batteries. Lithium, the lightest metal on earth, has to be mined and is also used in mobile phones, laptops, power drills, in fact anything that uses rechargeable batteries. But the biggest use is set to be in vehicles, predicted to be about 60% of new cars by the end of the decade. Add that to...

We were very sad to hear of the passing of her majesty, Queen Elizabeth. It’s been said many times over the last few days how much she was a constant in our lives and it will feel strange her not being here anymore.  I lost my own mother a few months ago and still haven’t got used to not having her around, so I’m sure many will feel the same about The Queen.  The Queen meant many things to many people, but not everyone agrees with having a monarchy. I’m sure it can’t be easy being a Royal, being in...
