Is sugar the food of love?
In amongst real news at the start of 2014, there’ve been headlines such as ‘The Sugar Trap!’ ‘No more sugar’, ‘Are you addicted to sugar?’ I’m bemused, surely there’s nothing new about the news that too much sugar is bad for us? Bu
Eating Mindfully
It’s the ‘New Year’s Resolution’ time of year when many people resolve to make changes in their lives. Personally, I think it’s a good idea to have an ongoing overview of changes that need to be made throughout the year. But I have one right now that is n
Harrogate Yoga’s new website!
Back in 1999 I moved to Harrogate from a village near Wetherby. I was pleasantly surprised to find that town living was much friendlier than anything I’d experienced during eighteen years of living in a village. In the terrace I moved to, my immediate neighbours had a technology

Fab not Drab – Fanciful Footwear
Last Easter we had a family gathering at my Sister’s house. In addition to the pleasure gained from getting together as a family, it was an opportunity to enjoy her exquisite cooking. As well as being a fantastic cook my Sister has a mean eye for antiques and quirky artefacts. An auct

Soul of the Home
“Care for our houses….however humble, is also care of the soul. No matter how little money we have, we can be mindful of the importance of beauty in our homes.’’ These are the words of Thomas Moore in ‘Care of the Soul – how to add depth and meaning to your everyday life’
Spirals
As an artist I’ve always loved to draw curved shapes – the curves of the human form and curves from nature. Straight lines have never had much appeal. I say I can’t draw a straight line but I think the truth is that I’m just not very interested in them. Give me a human body, flowers a
