1. Dear Jane, As a yogi I’m all about giving back to the community and this year I suggested to my family that we offer our services on Christmas Day by serving meals or cleaning dishes where we are needed. They all said no. Any suggestions on how I can get them to see the…

1. The phone call Today I had to ring my mother and kind of break her heart. It’s the hardest phone call I’ve ever made to her and she cried and I cried and then she blew my mind, like she always does. She turned around within minutes something that is the worst case scenario…

1. Decluttering I’m moving house just after Christmas. Hurrah. Instead of starting to sort things I’ve been interneting the fork out of fabrics to reupholster our sofa and find a new desk for me.

1. Dear Jane, What should one wear when one is cycling through, over and around vineyards? Chin-chin, Eric Dear Eric, One should always wear padded undergarments in whatever form that takes. Don’t let naysayers of the graped-up variety put you off. Dignity is secondary. Pad up, Eric, pad up. 2. Dear Jane, Is there a…

But… 1. I can’t read my free astrology chart After an amazing first-time session with a fab nutritionist recently I not only came away with some supplements knowledge (not a hard sell at all BTW!) I finally had some therapy. True, she didn’t realise she was giving it to me but I was snuggled up…
