Mamma Mia makes a great gift for friends and family, or a light and refreshing treat to serve guests this festive season.With Limoncello being the shining star of supermarket Christmas collections, including Waitrose’s
Limoncello infused Panetone, Stollen and Stilton, it’s a must have for your home bar too.
I love Limoncello. It’s delicious and refreshing. Mamma Mia uses only natural ingredients and it perfect for the party season.
Mamma Mia is made with the oldest variety of Italian lemons, the “Femminello del Gargano” which are small, flavourful organic lemons from the Puglia region in Southern Italy. The lemons have been harvested by hand since 1850 by the Ricucci family who continue to cultivate them to this day. The lemons are hand peeled and the outer part of the zest is infused in Italian grain alcohol for 30 days. Mamma Mia is made with all natural ingredients, is free of preservatives and artificial colouring and is less sweet than traditional Limoncello. As part of Mamma Mia’s sustainable production process, the labels of the Mamma Mia bottles are entirely made of recycled lemon peel.

Temperate rainforests are lush, humid environments. The constant moisture creates the perfect conditions for a staggering array of ferns, lichens and fungi to thrive. They carpet the trees, meaning the forest floor extends upwards.
In this setting, green leaves projected on to the ceiling formed a forest canopy, and the recorded sound of bird song immediately transported me to a woodland forest.
Fifteen mini platforms, big enough for 2 or 3 musicians, were seemingly scattered throughout the space and thus the orchestra, with the intention of encouraging the audience to promenade throughout the space, as if meandering in an actual forest.
Seating, or rather the lack thereof, was a conundrum. Provide it, and the audience are unlikely to wander through the space. Don’t provide it and the audience (at least the younger members) sit on the floor towards the rear, whilst the more mature, seek purchase on the base of the columns holding up the roof.
An audience of 200 or more filled the space, soon to be joined by the musicians, who entered one by one, with slow deliberate steps, each carrying their instrument, before settling themselves on some of the mini stages.
Gradually, music replaces the bird song at first soothing and ethereal, and later more strident. The music was interspersed by short narratives which offered small nuggets of information such as, at one time, as much as 20% of the UK was covered in temperate rainforest. Today, as little as 0.07% remains.
Mendelssohn’s overture from Midsummer Night’s Dream with its soothing familiarity, seemed the perfect choice to transport one into the forest.
The audience begins to explore the space slowly moving between the islands of musicians, in a rare, if not unique opportunity, to get so close to the performers, and hear pockets of sound, although I was pleased that my perch was behind the brass so that I could appreciate the playing rather than being overpowered by it.
I am in awe, as Maxime Tortelier, the conductor, held everything together, in a sterling 220 degree performance, eliciting the best from top class talent.
Almost imperceptibly the sound of buzzing was introduced, which developed into the unmistakable sound of the chain saw, followed by the crashing of felled trees. One by one the musicians lay down clutching their instruments. I cannot be alone in contemplating a world without music, at the same time as a world without trees. Surely the purpose of the evening. Joyously, the musicians stood and resumed their places, the music returned, and the sound of a regenerating forest filled the space. Some of the music choices were less to my taste and whilst the Midsummer Night’s Dream and Nadia Boulanger’s wonderful Patience of Trees were excellent, I was less enamoured by Strong on Oaks, Strong on the causes of Oaks, by Michael Nyman
This is the second time that I have heard Sinfonia in the Square and once again I was blown away by the talent in such a young orchestra. If you get the opportunity to experience Orchestral Forest or to hear Sinfonia Smith Square, you absolutely should.
‘A person starts to age the moment they are born’, says Dr Miglė Tomkuvienė. A biochemist at Vilnius University (VU) Life Sciences Centre (LSC) explores what old age is and what methods could potentially delay its effects, should such methods exist.
‘This is not a new question. It has always been relevant, as the search for the elixir of life has been ongoing throughout human history. The new wave of interest results from the most recent scientific data on the ageing process at the molecular and cellular level. This is stimulating interest, both among the general public and among scientists, in how to halt ageing, or prolong a healthy and active life’, says Dr Tomkuvienė.
The scientist explains how we begin to age as soon as we are born: ‘Ageing is influenced by both environmental factors and the body’s own characteristics. At the molecular level, the way the body itself disposes of waste is important. It is also about the level of negative influence of the environment. All of these external and internal detrimental factors are slowly damaging us. And although we try to repair the damage, it eventually builds up, leading to a deterioration in the body’s functions, commonly known as old age.’
Causes of ageing
Many factors determine how this happens, including genetics and environmental influences. Scientists have now identified twelve molecular mechanisms that lead to the ageing of cells and, therefore, the body.
‘This can be a variety of DNA damage that can lead to mutations and diseases such as cancer, for example, epigenetic alterations. There can be defects in proteins that are important as building blocks; disorders of metabolites, which are our metabolic waste disposal system; dysfunctions in the responses to nutrients; disorders of communication between cells; and stem cell exhaustion, where stem cells can no longer divide and regenerate, so the body can’t regenerate along with them. I would also like to mention that it is not only the health of the cells that is important for humans but also the health of the microbiota. This is the health of the bacteria that live in our gut and on our skin. It also contributes to our health, and when the microbiota is dysfunctional, we see an acceleration of ageing,’ explains the scientist.
We all know the preventative solution: a healthy lifestyle
In response to the question of how to stay young, she says that all these mechanisms are highly interconnected and that we can make a variety of choices in our daily lives that can lead to better bodily functions. Everyone knows the answer is simply a healthy lifestyle: a healthy diet, plenty of exercise and sport, and the absence of harmful habits.
‘Everything we do has an impact on our organ functions and, ultimately, our cells and genes. Epigenetics, now widely discussed, describes the mechanisms that regulate gene activity. Our genes don’t all have to work evenly at the same time because different functions in the body require different genes to play like an orchestra – some louder, some quieter, depending on their needs. The body has day-night patterns called circadian rhythms. Therefore, some genes must work at night and others during the day. They change in waves. If sleep is disturbed, so is gene activity. When the orchestra is out of tune, it can also lead to organ function deterioration, which manifests as ageing.
Food and nutrition are essential for the microbiota, which I have also identified as one of the factors influencing ageing. Researchers now recommend consuming at least 30 different plants a week to get the widest possible variety of nutrients from them. It’s also important to absorb the fibre found in fruit, vegetables, seeds, and nuts. Sport is essential for the cardiovascular system: the blood vessels tend to clog up as we get older, so sport helps keep them working well.
Epigenetics can explain what happens in the cell nucleus
‘Epigenetics is the blueprint that aligns the body’s processes. Biochemical and genetic methods allow the study of genes that are marked by chemical markers in cells. Epigenetics works like this: we have gene sequences written in DNA, but what is also important is what is happening in the nucleus of the cell – around and attached to that DNA are what we would call ‘road signs’ that tell us where to stop. What researchers can do is extract DNA from human cells and look not only at its sequence but also at the epigenetic marks that are attached to both the DNA itself and the surrounding proteins. Current science already has a great deal of knowledge about which chemical molecules transcribe which epigenetic signals. As a result, we can extract a gene and know what gene it is and what its function is; we can also see what epigenetic marks are attached to it and, therefore, whether the gene is active in the person being studied. From this information, conclusions can already be drawn, Dr Tomkuvienė stresses.
She argues that this allows us to study different aspects of everyday life and how they affect our epigenetics. For example, studying the gene activity of people who smoke (both traditional cigarettes or e-cigarettes) and comparing it with a control group of non-smokers. This study showed that smoking alters the activity of a person’s genes. For researchers, such studies may help explain how smoking traditional cigarettes causes cancer and other lung diseases and how smoking an e-cigarette affects cells in a similar way to smoking a traditional cigarette, as well as how the effects of e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes may differ. This makes it possible to identify the molecular pathways by which such bad habits can lead to later diseases, lung failure, etc.
Aiming for customisable therapy
According to Dr Tomkuvienė, many studies are currently underway to develop specific drugs or complex therapies that can be applied as age-reversing interventions to our bodies: ‘Scientists have already identified specific genes and proteins that, if activated and perhaps with additional cellular input, could stimulate cells to rejuvenate themselves, and thus rejuvenate the whole organ.
Of course, the results are not yet as great as in a science fiction movie. The current focus is on how to rejuvenate individual organs. As I said, the body is a complex system with different organs, so we cannot rejuvenate everything with modern means. So far, we know that one of the mechanisms of ageing is the accumulation of aged or inefficient cells. Therefore, if they were rejuvenated or removed, organ function would be restored, and there would be less chronic inflammation, often suggested as one of the mechanisms driving ageing.’
Signs of ageing and how to reverse them
‘The signs of ageing for doctors are likely to be vascular blockages, dementia, cartilage damage, etc. For biochemists and epigeneticists, the cellular DNA level will be more important. We will see ageing as the phenomena I mentioned – ageing mechanisms, the accumulation of mutations, and epigenetic and protein-level disorders. When we are young and healthy, everything works in harmony: the organs and the cells, of which we have about two hundred types and 30,000 genes. As we get older, it all gets out of sync.
How can cells be influenced to renew themselves? In the future, maybe there will be pills. But right now, we are thinking about encoding the necessary proteins that give cells their youth. This would take place in the RNA molecule. This would be similar to when we had RNA vaccines against the virus during the Covid-19 pandemic. They encoded the information to be transmitted to the cells about what virus to protect themselves against. This is very similar to the way in which you can encode the proteins that make a cell’s genes youthful in an RNA molecule. Inserting them at the cellular level should make gene activity more like that of a young cell.’
However, all this is yet to be seen because, according to Dr Tomkuvienė, it is challenging to find the sweet spot in terms of how much we should rejuvenate. A Nobel Prize has already been awarded to a scientist who has figured out how to rejuvenate mature cells with a specific function to the embryonic level, where the cells do not yet have that function. But we do not want to become giant embryos. We want to rejuvenate the cells so that they perform their function perfectly but retain their identity – so that the heart cells function like a heart, the skin cells function like skin and so on. So, the challenge is to rejuvenate, but not too much or too little. Also, no research has been done on humans.
No other genre offers the unique ‘triple E’ rating as much as Historical Fiction: education, entertainment and escapism. Best are those books that revive a hitherto hidden heroine: a woman with agency, who isn’t formulaic. Finding them isn’t easy, and the leap from fact to fiction a labour of love. Let me take you by the hand and lead you back in time for a millennium.
My new novel ‘The Last Princess’ is about Gytha Godwinson, the daughter of England’s true House of Dragons and of its last Anglo-Saxon King, Harold II. Godwinson – isn’t that in 1066, that hour zero of the British Isles? Yes, it is. But if this vast timespan is an enormous challenge, it also gives you great liberty.
Yet rule number one of writing historical fiction is stringent research before you even think of picking up the pen. I read for almost a year to immerse myself in this long bygone world. Research is the rigid, non-negotiable frame in which the story and the plot may teem and swarm as the most colourful of images – an image I am determined to paint in ‘The Last Princess’. A reader gives me their most valuable – and that is not their money, but their time.
But the Anglo-Saxons treaded famously lightly on the surface of this earth, building in mud, wattle, and daub and living in harmony with nature and its seasons: call it medieval mindfulness. If their ‘settlements’ are long gone, Bosham’s chapel is largely unchanged since Anglo-Saxon days. The distinct two storey architecture of Gytha’s family home, Bosham Manor, is depicted on the Bayeux tapestry. It is here that Gytha’s story starts, during a raucous Modranecht, and the candle-lit glory of a great Hall. But already, the seed of discord is sewn, and it turns the ground beneath her feet into quicksand. The events of that evening will swallow her life and her world, forcing her forward into her fabulous fate. This fills the firm framework of research such as an image popping with colour, swarming and surprising! Gytha’s times – the High Middle Ages– were an era of intense change, especially for women.
By autumn 1066, Christianity had reached most corners of the European world. Historically, there is much more evidence of women and how they interacted with the world around them, both religious and secular. Yet it also triggered a type of repression in which women’s bodies are seen as inherently polluting. At the same time, Christianity enables female spiritual growth and the development of canon law also impacted Christian women’s status. If the Fourth Lateran Council solidified the need for consent within marriage, Thomas Aquinas dictated that women owed their husbands ‘a conjugal debt.’
It is in this field of tension that Gytha grows up: ancient rites clash with strict Christian morals. This gives Gytha the courage to question the powers in place and makes her story irresistible: prepare yourself for a wild ride. ‘The Last Princess’ is stringent historical fiction that teems with trolls, malevolent stars, green-faced fairy folk, giants, nasty Norse sorceresses, handsome hunks, and an evil spell that keeps our beautiful, flame-haired Princess captive – and it’s all true. After she witnesses the Battle of Hastings through a crazy twist of super-natural story-telling – we are a 1000 years ago, aren’t we? – Gytha’s life has different plans for her; or does she have different plans for her life? She dares the unthinkable and as she faces fight or flight, she picks both: Gytha lives trial, terror and finally triumph. Her story bridges myth and modernity: She speaks in a strong, clear and modern voice about the demise of a cursed kingdom and the emergence of a new empire.
But which empire is it that the last Anglo-Saxon Princess founded?

In this article, Jane McClenaghan, one of Northern Ireland’s most esteemed nutritionists with over two decades of experience, explores how these tiny seeds can support your gut. Jane, who runs Vital Nutrition and regularly contributes to media outlets such as the BBC and The Belfast Telegraph, explains the importance of flaxseeds’ fibre content, their prebiotic effects, and their role in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. Through her expert insight, you’ll discover easy ways to incorporate flaxseeds into your diet and the science behind their digestive benefits.
How do flaxseeds improve digestion?
Flaxseeds contain a lovely balance of soluble and insoluble fibre, making them the perfect addition to your diet if you are serious about optimising your digestion. A portion size of flaxseed can contribute over 4g to your daily fibre intake.(1) Not a bad start to the recommended daily intake of 30g fibre a day (2). For optimum digestive benefits, choose a form of milled flaxseed, as whole seeds can pass through the digestive tract undigested, and won’t have the same beneficial effects.The Role of Soluble and Insoluble Fibre in Digestive HealthSoluble and insoluble fibre work together to help regulate bowel movements and keep things moving. Both types of fibre have benefits for digestion. Soluble fibre is the stuff that dissolves in water to form a gel and may be helpful for people with loose stools, and insoluble fibre helps to speed up transit time. It is important to have a combination of both types of fibre in our diet, so flaxseed definitely ticks the fibre box.Flaxseeds and Gut Health: The Power of LignansFlaxseeds also contain a class of polyphenols called lignans. Once lignans are metabolised by the bacteria in our gut, they have various health benefits that may include anti-inflammatory effects and hormone balancing effects.
How much flaxseed should I consume daily for gut health? Just two dessertspoons a day (20g) is all you need each day. You can take it all in one go – in your favourite breakfast for example, or divide your intake over a couple of meals in your day.
Studies on Flaxseed and Constipation Studies show that just 10 g of flaxseed twice a day for 12 weeks significantly improved constipation symptoms, particularly stool consistency (3).
Gradually Increasing Fibre for IBS If you have IBS, you may prefer to increase fibre in your diet a little more gradually until your body gets used to it.
What is the best way to incorporate flaxseeds into my diet? Flaxseed is really versatile and easy to add to lots of foods. Linwoods have a range of milled flaxseed products that are lovely to add to any meal of the day. Try adding a spoonful of milled flaxseed to your favourite breakfast of porridge, overnight oats of Greek yoghurt. For added crunch and a little extra antioxidant benefits, try adding a spoonful of Linwoods Flaxseed, Sunflower, Pumpkin & Chia Seeds & Goji Berries onto salads or use as a tasty topper for soups at lunchtime. There are lots of ways to incorporate milled flaxseed into your diet, and you will soon find your favourite.
Are flaxseeds beneficial for overall digestive health? Flaxseeds have lots of benefits for gut health, thanks to their anti-inflammatory and prebiotic effects.
Flaxseeds and Gut Microbiome Support As well as helping to keep us more regular, flaxseeds may change the balance of bacteria in our gut microbiome for the better, reduce bloating and help support overall digestive health.
Flaxseed with Probiotics for Enhanced Digestive Benefits If you are looking for a little extra help from your daily flaxseed habit, then take a look at Linwoods Milled Flaxseed with Bio Cultures & Vitamin D. This combination contains a unique strain of a probiotic bacteria called Bacillus coagulans that has been shown to help reduce tummy pain, gas, wind and bloating (4).
Boosting Gut Health with a Variety of Plant Foods Did you know that eating 30 different plant foods a week can help support our gut microbiome? Linwoods Flaxseed, Sunflower, Pumpkin & Chia Seeds & Goji Berries is a great way to boost your intake of plant foods, with five different plant foods in one healthy product.
Do flaxseeds help support a healthy gut microbiome? The soluble fibre in flaxseeds acts as a prebiotic to help nourish the bacteria in our microbiome. Think of prebiotics as the fuel that our gut microbiome needs for a healthy diversity and abundance of good bacteria.
Flaxseeds and Increased Probiotic Bacteria One study showed that the addition of flaxseed for 6 weeks increased the abundance of 33 species of probiotic bacteria (5).
Variety of Plant-Based Foods for a Healthy Microbiome The more variety of plant-based foods in our diet, the greater the abundance and diversity of beneficial bacteria in our gut microbiome. Make flaxseed part of your daily routine to help feed your gut.
Adding Flaxseed to my diet everyday has made a huge difference to my life. As a busy mum I find it hard to eat healthy. Linwoods do a lot of different types of seed. I have tried most of them and adding them to yoghurt, salads and porridge really ups my nutritional game. They are convenient, you just add a couple of dessert spoonfuls to a meal, or even a smoothie, and you’re good to go. I even like the taste and the texture they add to meals. Win win all round.

Child safety is always the top priority of every parent. However, when it comes to allergies, even the most vigilant parents can be caught off guard.
According to statistics, about 8% of children in the US are reported to have food allergies. These are only the tip of the iceberg as there are many other allergens that may affect babies.
What makes baby allergies particularly worrisome is how easily the symptoms can go unnoticed, as little ones can’t always communicate their discomfort. That’s why we have curated a list of the top five trigger factors so you can take steps to keep your baby safe from allergies.
Baby Products
The international baby products market was valued at $320.65 billion in 2023 and is projected to increase at a CAGR of 5.9% each year up to 2030. Even though the industry is booming, not all products are safe for sensitive baby skin. Preservatives in these products are known to cause an allergic skin reaction called contact dermatitis, which results in rashes.
Let’s take the case of baby powder itself. Some of them contain talc, a mineral that contains trace amounts of asbestos. It causes severe health consequences and can trigger allergies among babies. As a result, many talcum powder lawsuit cases have been raised over the past few years. With this in mind, many parents are opting for cornstarch-based powders.
As per TorHoerman Law, the number of talcum lawsuit cases is increasing steadily. Most of them highlight the failure of manufacturers to show adequate warnings associated with the ingredients.
Insects
Insect bites and stings can cause allergic reactions in babies. While most insect bites just result in itching, some babies may experience more severe reactions, such as vomiting, breathing difficulty, etc.
Allergies are not only from bites. Sometimes, even a tiny insect dropping can trigger them. Therefore, you need to take extra care of your baby through strict measures like:
Cover the food properly.
Dress your baby in long-sleeved clothing.
Avoid using flower or fruit-based scents, as they may attract insects easily.
Keep your home free from insect nests.
Air Contaminants
The respiratory system of babies may not be as strong as ours to handle pollutants like dust, smoke, mold spores, etc., in the air. As a result, their bodies might develop allergic symptoms promptly. Interestingly, some studies have even established a connection between early exposure to air contaminants with food allergies.
As babies spend most of their time indoors, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) have a significant stake in their health. These are chemicals released as gasses from various household items such as paints, cleaning products, furniture, etc. They are often odorless and can be detected only once the symptoms are visible in the baby. Check out some tips to make your indoor atmosphere more safe:
Use a high-quality air purifier in your home, especially in the baby’s room.
Maintain proper ventilation and control humidity levels to prevent mold growth.
Regularly clean using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner.
Choose low-VOC paints and furniture.
Pets
Pets can be a valuable addition to your family, but they can also cause allergies for some babies. These allergies are mainly caused by proteins found in an animal’s skin cells (dander).
Some of the most common symptoms of pet allergy among babies are itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, etc., which may get stronger as the exposure gets prolonged. They may not appear immediately after contact with the pet. If you suspect that your baby has pet allergy:
Keep pets out of the baby’s room at all times.
Regularly groom and bathe pets to reduce allergen shedding.
Relocate your pet to a new home.
Medications
Not all medicines are safe; some have strong side effects that are more dangerous than the illness itself. Penicillin and ibuprofen are some of the most common medicine ingredients that can create allergic reactions in babies. Studies have shown that adverse medications are responsible for about 10% of childhood hospitalizations.
Apart from allergic reactions, certain medicines may also cause some abnormal conditions that are to be treated promptly. For instance, gastrointestinal upset along with diarrhea is frequently reported with antibiotics. Here are some tips to manage the risks of medicine allergies:
Inform the doctor about any allergic conditions of the baby before he/she prescribes a medicine.
When starting a new medication, watch your baby closely for any signs of an allergic reaction.
Don’t give your baby any over-the-counter medications without consultation.
Keep a record of the baby’s allergic reactions to medications over time.
The tricky part about baby allergies is that symptoms can often be hard to notice. That’s why you should never rely on guesswork. At the first sign of an allergy, it’s crucial to consult a pediatrician. Always keep in mind that early detection and treatment can prevent future complications.
