Saga Magazine

Welcome

Hello everyone

This month's CONTRIBUTORS

Catch of the day • Add a coastal theme to your look with these fabulous fish-inspired accessories

Jeremy Paxman • This month, after spotting a mischief of magpies, our columnist is reminded just how much he dislikes their stiff-legged arrogance

Jenni Murray • A plumbing disaster convinces our columnist that it's essential to know the basics of DIY and what to do in an emergency

IN MY EXPERIENCE… • The football manager, 76, on his friendship with Bobby Moore and why his wife Sandra won't let him touch the garden

This month we talk… alcohol • Each month our insight team conducts an in-depth poll of Saga customers to find out what you're thinking. This month: what do you drink?

In full swing • As she returns to our TV screens playing a super-sleuth, actor Jane Seymour shares the secrets to her age-defying looks and reveals why she won't marry again

Hog spot • Hedgehogs are in decline but a project is gathering pace to encourage us to make holes in our fences to help preserve these prickly mammals

Bourne to dance • Celebrated choreographer Sir Matthew Bourne tells us about growing up in the East End, his pride at being knighted and why he loves Strictly Come Dancing

Trying times • It's been 200 years since Rugby schoolboy William Webb Ellis picked up a ball and accidentally invented a new game, but the sport is now enduring an existential – and financial – crisis. Could the World Cup provide answers?

Walking a new path: a life without grandchildren • Many of us long to be grandparents, but what happens if that moment never comes? Our writer reveals how painful it can feel, and explains how it is still possible to cultivate a rich and rewarding life

Deliver us from evil • In what's been described as the most widespread miscarriage of justice in UK history, hundreds of Post Office branch managers were wrongly accused of false accounting due to faulty software. One of the victims, Wendy Buffrey, 64, describes how the scandal drove her to the brink of suicide

Stretch your imagination • Ideas don't just have to be the preserve of youth. Treat your inventiveness like a muscle and with some easy daily exercises those ‘Eureka’ moments will keep on coming…

Where there's wool, there's a way • If we told you a team of grandmothers was hand-making clothes for an upmarket fashion label, you'd probably think we were spinning you a yarn. But that is the case for one pioneering brand. We meet the women leading this knitting revolution…

It's never too late to… be a teacher • Joanna Ball, 70, used to be a doctor, but since volunteering as a maths tutor in retirement, she has gone back to school

Cob story • We meet a couple who have lovingly restored a tiny wood and straw cottage and its bramble-choked garden

Shop the look

Sow savvy • We're all watching what we spend, and growing your own is thrifty when you choose the right crops. Start now and you'll harvest herbs and salads in weeks and fresh fruit next summer

CASH-SAVING CROPS TO START NOW

FIVE GREAT WAYS TO SAVE AS YOU GROW

Autumn ways • With the seasons changing and summer throwing its last party moves, looking forward not back is the joy of gardening in September
