Just before Christmas the new edition of Woman Magazine was published. In fact I bought my copy when I was at Heathrow Airport, and the delay in sharing the article with you here is because I was, as the article says, on my way to ‘spend Christmas alone in the sun’.

I had a fabulous trip, met some fun people, had a wonderful time underwater scuba diving, and sunning myself on deck between dives. The sassy way to spend Christmas!

Thank you to journalist Unity Blott, for featuring my ‘alternative Christmas‘ – I am delighted to be part of ‘Generation Y Not – 40-plus women who are grabbing life with both hands’ and ‘rewriting the rules’.
