DUMMY

A new Dawn • Funnywoman Dawn French takes us on a tour of her home turf, revealing how becoming a grandma has changed her life and why she's having to squeeze a knee operation into her busy schedule

HOW TO AVOID ROMANCE SCAMS

Man of mystery • With his fourth novel hitting the shelves, Richard Osman reveals how his mum's retirement community inspired his writing and opens up about his recent wedding to actor Ingrid Oliver

ELTON AND ME: ‘It was a bonkers time’ • In his explosive new memoir Scattershot, lyricist Bernie Taupin, half of one of the greatest creative partnerships in pop music, recalls some of the poignant – and more hedonistic – moments from 50-plus years of collaborating with Elton John

Where dogs have their days • Not content with launching a charity to help over-60s afford rescue dogs, Louise Russell set upon an idea to help them socialise too…

A taste of sunshine • Bring the flavours of the Mediterranean into your home with these quick, easy and delicious new Jamie Oliver recipes

Tried & tasted • Spaghetti bolognese – a classic ready meal for one to have on standby. Which did our testers prefer?

Greener gardening • After another year of weather extremes, climate change is affecting us all. But by harnessing the power of plants and nature, we can make a big difference to the environment, one garden at a time

’Tis the season… • While Christmas may seem a long time...
