''Sally has tried lots of things to make herself feel younger: running, glamping, Pilates, adult colouring books, a ''mummy make-over,'' Bikram planking, Platonic irrigation and having an inappropriate relationship with a rangy twenty-something intern called Zeb, who has three beards and a Lego earring.

Sally has given up and is now thinking of joining the National Trust.''
