This is my first Mother’s Day without a mother. The first year that I haven’t mulled over how big I could go with a bouquet just to see the thrill on my flower-loving mum’s face, followed by a telling off for spending too much money. Last Mothering Sunday was my tiny, mighty mum’s last one and it was very different from our usual gastro pub, fizz and raucous family get-together.

One of my first nights out with the stylist and influencer Kat Farmer opened my eyes to the effect she has on midlife women.

On my next birthday I turn 60. I plan to wear something fabulous and expensive, celebrate loudly with family and friends and eke it out to the point of ridiculousness. Just a generation back, many women would have marked this milestone silently, or even felt compelled to lie. This life stage rendered us invisible, past the point of childbearing and all usefulness.

Why I applaud the controversial new ad by @alzheimerssoc that has caused uproar at its depiction of #dementia. Witnessing my mum’s descent has made me not want to sugar-coat life’s cruellest illness. @thetimes https://t.co/30IfUpebn7
