Hi there,


Here’s some good advice from Diane Gilman - fashion designer, author, entrepreneur, pro-age advocate: If I had to tell my younger self something, it would be: don’t try to set artificial alarm clocks like “if I haven’t done [something] by [age] my life is a complete disaster.” Calm down, stop worrying. Success can come at any age. So keep doing what you’re doing as long as you love it. 

About Diane Gilman: She got into television when she was 47 years old. She had her ‘lightbulb moment’ when she was 59 (and a half). She wrote her first book when she was 65. And she finished her third book at 79.

The ENTERTAINING one


During WWII the thrill-seeking undercover agent, Christine Granville, offered to ski across enemy lines and over the deadly Carpathian mountains, into Nazi-occupied Poland to gather intelligence for the British. Churchill would later call her his favourite spy. “History’s Secret Heroes”​ w/British actor Helena Bonham Carter - IG @bbcradio4
