4 d. ago A new start after 60: My voice went and suddenly part of me was missing – then I discovered bellringing

As a lifelong singer and a teacher, Jean Walters was used to making a noise. At 67 she found a new way to do itOne sunny August evening, Jean Walters was sitting in her garden in Meltham, West Yorkshire, when the church bells began to ring. She sipped her glass of wine; the evening seemed idyllic. “A quintessential English country garden,” she thought, and posted on Facebook: “Bells ringing, how lovely!”The next day when the plumber came to fix her toilet, more prosaically, he mentioned that he had seen her post, and being a bellringer himself, gave her the number of the local church’s tower captain. “He said, ‘Come along and try it.’ I did. I loved it. I said to my husband, ‘Did you hear that single bong? That was me.’”Tell us: has your life taken a new direction after the age of 60? Continue reading...

9 d. ago Stick review – Owen Wilson is utterly charming in the Ted Lasso of golf

This solid comedy-drama features the ever-watchable Hollywood star as a washed-up pro given a shot at redemption when he mentors a teen prodigy. It’s pleasant, feelgood TVI’ve never met a golfer in real life. I’ve always assumed I’m the wrong demographic – perhaps in terms of age, or class or at least tax bracket – or perhaps my lack of athleticism is so aggressive that it has prevented me from becoming friends with anyone with even the mildest sporting proclivity for all my life. Instead, I have essentially taken Mark Twain’s word for it that golf is a good walk spoiled, and gone about my days.Now, however, I think golf may be the spoiler of a good new comedy drama. Stick, it’s called – a deadening name – and it stars Owen Wilson as washed-up golf pro Pryce Cahill. He had a televised meltdown during a tournament at the peak of his career (“He triple-bogeyed his entire life”) and is now reduced to selling golf kit, giving lessons to rich old ladies and hustling for cash in bars. He ...

1 week ago Falling Into Place review – earnest romantic drama aims to nail the thirtysomething dilemma

A magical encounter on Skye leads to real life back in London in Aylin Tezel’s honest but difficult-to-care love storyGerman actor Aylin Tezel writes, directs and stars in this strident, fervent, oddly unreal romantic drama set in London and Skye; it is like the world’s longest TV banking ad without the humour that something like this needs. Yet for all its faults it’s an honest, flawed attempt to show how complicated it is to meet someone in your 30s who may be The One when both of you already have entanglements or relationships or ex-relationships.It looks like a very personal work from Tezel, with moments that could be taken from real life. Chris Fulton plays Ian, a guy who has come back to his home town in Skye for difficult family reasons, and in the pub he meets-cute, or meets-intense, with German set-designer Kira, played by Tezel. They have a magical night where they stay up all night talking, but then have to part, both back to London where they pursue their separate imperf...
