I suppose I’m best known as “The Green Goddess”. As part of the original presentation team of BBC Breakfast Time from 1983 to 1987, I was a symbol for the nation of health and fitness and spearheaded the campaign to ‘Get Britain Fit.’ I am a qualified exercise teacher and since Breakfast Time have branched out into books, videos and DVD’s focusing on health and fitness. Now aged 70 I have made a new exercise DVD for the more mature (or less fit) person called EASY FIT which is released Jan 2010.

Age Is A Challenge
Age is a challenge to the mind and the body but like every challenge I’ve ever met, I have risen to it. There is an entrenched belief in society that getting flabby and sedentary and disconnected from life is an inevitable part of the ageing process. But that’s just not true.
Style Confident In My 70’s
I’d describe my style as classic, with a modern twist. My mother was a great seamstress who taught me the basics. Sadly, she died when I was about 15. I don’t make clothes now, but I do my own alterations.
The Cancer Counselling Trust
If you have never seen a counselor before, it is sometimes hard to imagine what this will entail.
Letter to Berkley 1st School, Wiltshir
Dear pupils of Berkley 1st School,
First of all I would like to say what lucky children you are to live in such a beautiful part of the country. When I was a little girl I came to stay in Berkley in the summer holidays with my cousin who lived with her family in Church Farm just opposite your school. I had lovely time playing in the fields and being with the animals. On Sundays we always went to Berkley Church and I remember thinking it was the prettiest church I had ever seen. Several of my relations are buried in the graveyard.
