Our girl Fiona undergoes a scan before the skin treatment

Rolling back the years without going under the knife or the needle

The good thing about middle age is that we start to discover who we are, leave youthful anxiety (and spots) behind and feel more at ease in our skin.

Hola, amigos! Now I must admit I have a soft spot for Spain, having been there on holiday.

TRAVEL GUIDE: Haworth, Yorkshire

Sunday, 14 August 2011

Having fallen in love with Haworth and its spectacular surrounding countryside on my first visit to West Yorkshire, it's easy to see why one of its most famous inhabitants — Emily Bronte — was crippled with homesickness when forced to leave her beloved moors.

You know you're somewhere special when there's a helicopter service on offer, and when your room has a name all of its own — not to mention a croquet lawn outside.

Alex Higgins is dead. I thought the four-word text on the afternoon of Saturday July 24 last year was a joke at first.

PUB OF THE YEAR: Blake's, Enniskillen

Sunday, 24 July 2011

TRAVEL GUIDE: Isle of Mann

Sunday, 24 July 2011

Squelching round the grounds of Castle Rushen on a dark, grey, drizzly morning, I’m interrupted by a sprightly old lady with twinkling green eyes who taps me gently on the arm, correctly identifies me as a tourist and promises earnestly (and I quote verbatim), “I’ll wish good weather for you before lunch”.

TRAVEL GUIDE: Loch Earn

TRAVEL GUIDE: Cromore Village

Sunday, 3 July 2011

As a Larne-born man I’m no stranger to the wonders of the Antrim Coast. As a youngster I remember family day trips to Portrush, the entertainment mecca of Northern Ireland in my youth and the closest many of us could ever get to a Disneyland or an Alton Towers.

PUB OF THE YEAR: The Hole in the Wall, Armagh

TRAVEL GUIDE: Fermanagh
