Petrova and the Swan – An Inspiring new book for children

Petrova and the Swan – An Inspiring new book for children

Written and beautifully illustrated by my mother, Roslyn Bertram, this is the story of my discovery of ballet.

Roslyn Bertram

I came across this enchanting hand typed manuscript that my Mother had put together. It was after she passed away, while looking through pages of her books and diaries, that I found it. The folder was complete and the sketches still together.

 

I had always remembered this work, as it stuck out in my mind more than any of her other projects. I’d often mention it to her and she always replied with: –

“Oh it’s not that good really. It was just fun at the time.”

Now I am able to share this book as an example of my mother’s unseen talent, coupled with the story of my own childhood and I hope that not only will you love it, but also you will find within its pages a new inspiration for your own dreams.

I have done my very best to keep the contents as she wrote it and only hope that through my edit I have simply clarified and enhanced her vision.

FIGHTING BACK WITH THE FRANK BRUNO FOUNDATION

FIGHTING BACK WITH THE FRANK BRUNO FOUNDATION

Frank Bruno MBE has suffered for years with mental health issues, and is now revealing the extent of his agony as he sets up his own foundation to help young people with similar mental health conditions.

The Frank Bruno Foundation will provide structured non-contact boxing sessions aimed to relieve the social, emotional and mental distress that adversely affects the mental health of children, young people and adults.

The Foundation Reports:

‘We are aiming to bring together the benefits of non-contact boxing with a solution focused well-being program. The aim is to bring healthy-body and healthy-mind approaches together to provide a holistic and enjoyable approach to supporting people with mental health problems. The aim is to help people to develop a healthier body and a healthier mind, building on their existing physical and emotional strengths and achievements. Our aspiration is that people will use the skills they learn on the programme to develop a happier, more fulfilling and successful future.”

Fighting Back!

The Frank Bruno Foundation is a direct result of Frank wanting to give something back to the community. Frank has faced challenges both in and out of the ring and is now using all of his back story to make the new venture work, with his own passion and experiences.

Frank Bruno MBE has always been a legend, known for his bravery in the Ring. But to face up to his inner Demons is taking courage to another level, and Bruno has that in abundance. He has now earned the respect of another generation of young people, who have suffered with similar issues.

He and his daughter Rachel are true ambassadors and they have certainly earned the respect of all of us at Glotime.tv.

CHAMPION THE INNER CHILD – AND MELT AWAY THOSE INCHES

CHAMPION THE INNER CHILD – AND MELT AWAY THOSE INCHES

Champneys has always been the mother of all health spas, and I can say that with conviction as my own mum has been going there since the seventies.

But what I like about it is, Champneys has also moved with the times, and is constantly reinventing itself with new products and therapies.

It is now evident that stress often equals weight gain, and one of the main ingredients of a Champneys break is the focus upon destressing and of course losing weight with the various therapies that are on offer.

I opted to go back to Henlow Grange, one of my favourite beauty spa haunts, which is situated in 150 acres of parkland, and offers over 80 treatments by highly experienced therapists.

It has an indoor heated swimming pool, spa pools and steam rooms. I opted to indulge in the Champneys wax bath, which was glorious.

I also spotted a number of pregnant women who had treated themselves to a spa day or weekend. There are also a number of therapies available for them, and with trained staff for extra confidence.

Whatever your age or life stage, Champneys comes highly recommended, and you will want to go back.

 

Bedrooms have luxury bathrooms with signature Champneys toiletries. All rooms have a flat-screen TV/DVD, and some have scenic views of the River Hiz, which runs through the tranquil grounds.

The restaurant serves a modern British menu and fine wines. Beverages and healthy snacks can be enjoyed on the garden terrace or in the elegant lounges, where free Wi-Fi access is available.

Champneys is set in a historical country house between Bedford and Luton, and Cambridge is a 40-minute drive. There is free on-site parking, and central London is just an hours’ drive away.
