Welcome to the Third Age Newsletter for October 2010.
Meanwhile, for those considering moving, property expert Phillip Hulme offers his advice on What to do Before You Sell Your Home, and for those considering moving abroad and wishing to take advantage of Turkey's buoyant property market, we have our usual Turkish Property of the Month feature from the Turkish Home Office, licensed estate agents in Altinkum on Turkey's Aegean Coast.
And for anyone still in holiday mode or for those of you fancying a short or weekend break, Carlsberg Don't do Holiday Cottages but we know a couple in rural West Sussex who do. We had the pleasure of staying there recently and we can't recommend it highly enough!
Please note: You may need to LOG IN in order to read some of this month's features. Thank you! |

| Book of the Month
A Tiny Bit Marvellous by Dawn French. Everyone hates the perfect family. So you’ll love the Battles. Mo is about to hit the big 50, and some uncomfortable truths are becoming quite apparent: She doesn’t understand either of her teenage kids, which as a child psychologist, is fairly embarrassing. She has become entirely grey. Inside, and out. Her face has surrendered and is frightening children. Dora is about to hit the big 18 . . . and about to hit anyone who annoys her, especially her precocious younger brother Peter who has a chronic Oscar Wilde fixation. Then there’s Dad . . . who’s just, well, dad. A TINY BIT MARVELLOUS is the story of a modern family all living in their own separate bubbles lurching towards meltdown. It is for anyone who has ever shared a home with that weird group of strangers we call relations. Oh and there’s a dog. Called Poo. Dawn French has been making people laugh for 30 years. As a writer, comedian and actor, she has appeared in some of this country’s most long running, cherished and celebrated shows. Her bestselling memoir, Dear Fatty, was published to critical acclaim in 2008.

DVD of the Month
The World's Fastest Indian [DVD] [2005]. A movie that exudes affection and goodwill, The World's Fastest Indian is an unabashed mash note to a lovely character from New Zealand's recent past. Burt Munro, played by Anthony Hopkins, is a cantankerous Kiwi with an obsession: he's been tinkering with his 1920s-era Indian brand motorcycle for years, pushing it to ever-faster speeds. It's the 1960s, and Burt has the utterly mad idea of taking the bike to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, site of world records for speed racing. The movie takes a while to get to the journey--and then the journey takes a while--but the genial atmosphere prevails. (People of a certain age, for whom the word "Bonneville" evokes pleasant associations with hotrods and world-speed records, will not be disappointed in the film's location shooting, or its sense of awe.) Hopkins is not quite on-the-money casting for the jovial, happy-go-lucky Munro, and his accent wavers, but he nails the emotional scenes and the fascination with speed. Smaller bits are well-filled by Diane Ladd and Christopher Lawford (son of Peter), who looks uncannily of the era.
