About
Getting older isnt for the faint-hearted - but it can be a lot of fun.
In this candid, uplifting, and funny book, Prue Leith explores the trials and taboos of growing older - along with its unexpected joys. Part memoir and part reflection, Being Old and learning to love it! is packed with Prues trademark wit, wisdom, and no-nonsense charm as she takes a spirited canter through the triumphs, challenges and surprises of ageing well.
Prue Leith made her name with her Michelinstarred restaurant Leiths. She has written 16 cookery books, worked as a journalist on several newspapers and appeared frequently on television as a presenter. Her most recent appearances have been as a judge on The Great British Bake Off , from which she has just retired. Being Old became a Sunday Times bestseller on publication.
Wise, witty, and wonderfully human, this book will inspire us all to face the challenges of ageing with good humour, pragmatism and confidence.
Matthew Stadlen will be talking to Prue and encouraging her to tell lots of stories. And the multi-award winning vineyard, Highweald Wine Estate are sponsoring this event and a complimentary glass of their Brut Reserve will be served as a welcome glass for attendees.
'Highweald are proud to support local stories and shared moments.'
