LIZ JONES: I'm feeling so nostalgic, I unblock David
I'm officially in recovery after an horrendous year. I'm seeing my new therapist once a week. I've booked a course of yoga classes at Middleton Lodge, my local country-house hotel. Nic wonders why I don't do yoga at the village hall, but I tell her I need bucolic surroundings: 'Do you want me more depressed?' Middleton Lodge yoga, every Friday at 6.30am, takes place in the walled kitchen garden.
I can't stand yoga, but I don't want to lose strength or flexibility as I get older. To improve my self-esteem, I've ordered socks, a grey V-neck sweater and a sleeveless sweatshirt in the sale at Navygrey.
