Whatever’s on my mind - delivered directly to yours. Discuss.

I’ve made my living as a writer for over 40 years, on magazines and newspapers and as a novelist. I’ve edited several magazines, including British ELLE, and had columns in The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Age and The Lady magazine.

The columns ranged in theme from fashion, style, food, restaurants and books, all the way over to the grown-up lands of op ed, where I wrote about the big political and news stories of the day. I’m a broad broad.

I’ve still got a whole lot to say - and Substack is the place I want to say it.

There isn’t any formal structure to Style Notes, I just let rip about whatever is top of my brain that day. It might be shoes, an interesting place I’ve been, stuff about home style, or the hot story in the news.

Whatever the subject, I want to know what you think about it too. I love the comments section. So please jump aboard this flume ride with me. Arms in the air. Wheeeeeee!
