Why subscribe to this newsletter?

We all lead busy lives.

It is valuable, now and then, to take a moment out of our day-to-day preoccupations to think about something completely different.

This newsletter is designed to do exactly that. Only once a fortnight, with short pieces (800-900 words), it offers a little breather. Nothing to overwhelm you.

The Granny Who Stands on her Head is the title of my book about why I like being an older woman, now 82, and is also the title of this newsletter. I subtitle it Thought for the Fortnight, in a slight homage to ‘Thought for the Day’ on BBC Radio 4.

The topics range widely – from Annunciations to orgasms. You can see a short video of me standing on my head or read many a think piece about day-to-day matters, such as travel time.

Do take a moment to read and, if you like what you see, do subscribe, comment and share whenever you feel moved to do so.

I have spent a lifetime thinking about things and feel it's only natural to write my thoughts down. The best of these become my Substack posts. My most recent book is about why I like being old: The Granny Who Stands on her Head.
