Saga Magazine

1 October 2023

Hello and a warm welcome to your October issue of Saga Magazine. We hope it finds you well. The fabulous Dawn French is our cover star this month. In a candid interview, the writer and comedian talks about finding love, why she’s fitting a knee op into her busy schedule and how becoming a grandmother has changed her life. We also chat to TV presenter and novelist Richard Osman, who tells us about the inspiration for his bestselling novels, and his recent nuptials. One couple who know a thing or two about marriage are national treasures Timothy West and Prunella Scales. As they mark their 60th wedding anniversary – one of the longest-lasting marriages in the history of British entertainment – Timothy reveals the challenges he faces following Prunella’s dementia diagnosis. Elsewhere, we meet the man reviving the traditional art of globemaking. Plus, we journey to the Scilly Isles to discover how you can combine relaxation with conservation. And there's simple, tasty Mediterranean recipes from Jamie Oliver. You can also read our usual health, money and gardening features, the latest from your favourite columnists, and test your brain power with our puzzle pages and pub quiz. We hope you enjoy it.
