Week beginning 26 August – holiday dates and thank you

Hello,
So we have a few weeks off now.  I am going to sign off for a couple of weeks to recharge my batteries. It is easy to forget how important self-care is as we rush through life!

Thank you from Galloways- the sight loss charity

Thank you to everyone who donated in Kathryn’s memory.

How to be happy
In all the research on happiness, exercise is an important part of the happiness package. Happiness being your default state means we build up resilience to deal with the hard times of stress or grief that we all have to deal with. Exercise is a key component.

Week beginning 19 August- Ageing Well radio broadcast and holiday dates

Hello,
Just 1 week to go before my summer break. I am looking forward to seeing old friends in Greece and then relaxing at the yoga retreat with my daughter. I wanted to treat my daughter for working so hard for her A levels. She has got a place to study Physiotherapy at University which is fantastic. She already knows a bit about hip replacements!


Ageing well
I was listening to the radio  and came across this episode of Inside Health
Inside Health – How can we age well? – BBC Sounds. It is worth a listen.
