A Mini-Travelogue from Nadia – a road trip in France and Spain
Posted in Advantages of Age7 mn read Mountain life The northern French Alps in September is one of my favourite places anywhere. Ten years ago, we were able to buy a little old chalet in a village on the route de La Plagne and I didn’t imagine just how much I would come to adore autumn here in themountains. The sun is still […]
Portals to Other Worlds
Posted in Advantages of Age8 mn read Michael Ward is 70. He lives in a cottage in Dorset. This is his story. I was born in Ireland in 1952. We were a nice middle-class family: two parents, two children, living in a pleasant cul de sac named Ardmore Drive, on the outskirts of Belfast. On the surface, everything seemed fine. As the […]

Posted in Advantages of Age4 mn read Not long ago, I was discussing my 70th birthday celebrations with a male friend and I declared that I was old as part of the conversation. I didn’t mean it in that British understating-slightly-funny-because-I’m-embarrassed way, I meant it in a quietly proud way. He didn’t get it. He thought I was being self-effacing. No, you’re […]
Falling in Love With My Own Characters – my first book at 63!
Posted in Advantages of Age9 mn read A few years ago, I started writing books. I write under the name, Annie Cook. I’ve written six (soon to be seven) in a series of connected novels centred around a ‘magic’ holiday cottage in the Lake District. Discombobulated people are unwittingly drawn there to heal from life traumas. The books centre loosely around vibrational […]
