Welcome to the Third Age Newsletter for November 2010.
This month we're delighted to welcome Caroline Carr, our resident Agony Aunt, who will be happy to answer questions on any difficulties you might be having with relationships, family, retirement or any other aspect of your life.
We've also got an absolute bargain of a Turkish property currently being offered for sale by the Turkish Home Office, licensed estate agents in Altinkum on Turkey's Aegean Coast, and for anyone looking for a retirement property closer to home, an excellent feature on Woodland Grove, one of the first developments of its kind in Scotland and the only property north of the border to reach the Daily Telegraph’s list of ‘Britain’s Most Desirable Retirement Properties.’
And to warm the cockles of your heart this winter, we're also pleased to bring you the first in a series of Healing Winter Soups from regular contributor, Julie Burke.
Please note: You may need to LOG IN in order to read some of this month's features. Thank you!

DVD of the Month
David Attenborough's First Life [DVD].
In 50 years of broadcasting, David Attenborough has travelled the globe to document the living world. In this landmark series, he completes his journey by going back in time to the roots of the tree of life in search of the very first animals. From the fogbound coastline of Newfoundland to the deserts of North Africa and the rainforests of Queensland, Attenborough finds evidence in fossils and living animals of an extraordinary period in Earth’s history, when animals first appeared in the oceans. From the first eyes that saw, to the first predators that killed and the first legs that walked on land, these were creatures that evolved the traits and tools that allow all animals, including ourselves, to survive to this day. Stunning photography and state of the art visual effects combine with the captivating charm of the world’s favourite naturalist. Bringing together fossil finds from the last few years that have transformed our understanding of early life forms, First Life brings these animals and their environments back to life in brilliant detail in a stunning book.
