Higginson Park has been the green heart of Marlow for a century. This month, Buckinghamshire Council and local community groups are coming together to celebrate its 100th anniversary on Saturday 20th June. Exactly 100 years ago, local residents rallied to buy this beautiful riverside space. They saved it for the public to honour the 100th birthday of General Sir George Higginson. Today, it remains a cherished sanctuary for residents and visitors alike. To mark this incredible

With the arrival of the new Devil Wears Prada film next week, fashion inevitably finds itself back in the spotlight as we all excitedly anticipate its release. It’s a moment that prompted me as a boutique buyer to reflect on what I see as the big trends for Spring Summer 2026 and the items I have bought into on my buying trips over the last 6 months. At Twenty Three Living, we’ve always believed that style is less about following the narrative but in finding the key pieces t

We spotted Mikey Cook upside down on Instagram and we were compelled to talk to him about his new Aerial Yoga class he has just launched at Flow in Marlow. "My background in fitness started through a love of movement from a young age. I was always interested in dance and did gymnastics and trampolining at school. Years later, a friend convinced me to try Pole Fitness and I instantly fell in love with the creativity, strength and supportive atmosphere of the classes. That even

There’s a common belief that running and exercise “wear out” your joints — but in most cases, the opposite is true. Our bodies are designed to move. Whether it’s walking, running, strength training, yoga or simply staying active day to day, regular movement helps keep joints healthy, muscles strong and the body resilient as we age. At Marlow Movement Clinic, we regularly see people who have stopped exercising because they’re worried about damaging their knees, hips or back. O

Join our latest Soul Food webinar to discover how employers can engage five generations in one workforce. A wellbeing strategy that works for one group of employees might completely miss the mark for another. A part-time colleague. A store manager. A head office team member. A distribution worker. A parent. A carer. A graduate. A retiree returning to work. The modern workforce is not one audience: it is many. That’s why our next Soul Food webinar will explore how employ

Have you ever found yourself replaying a WhatsApp message for three days because someone replied with a ‘thumbs up’ emoji instead of something more positive? Or have you convinced yourself that someone was annoyed with you because they took a bit too long to reply? Or maybe criticism, awkward feedback or feeling left out hits you so hard that it feels physical and you end up wanting to run away and hide from shame? Vicki Clark, founder of Neon Mind That might be Rejection S

By Sian Hinton-Woodier FPFS, Amber River Premier Most people do not make bad financial decisions. In fact, the biggest issue is often something much quieter. Putting things off. Whether it is reviewing pensions, sorting savings, or making important financial decisions, it is very common to think: “I’ll deal with it later.” At the time, it feels harmless. Life is busy, there are always more immediate priorities, and finances can often feel complex or overwhelming. But over tim

Answered by Sian Hinton-Woodier FPFS, Amber River Premier Q: I feel like I should be doing more with my money—where do I start? A: This is very common, and the key is not to try to do everything at once. Start with the basics: understand your income and outgoings, build some accessible savings, and then look at longer-term goals like pensions or investing. Small, consistent steps are far more effective than trying to make big changes all at once. Q: How much should I have in

By Sian Hinton-Woodier FPFS, Amber River Premier As we reach the midpoint of the year, it’s a natural opportunity to pause and take stock of where you are financially. Life rarely stands still—spending habits shift, priorities evolve, and external factors such as inflation or market movements can all have an impact.

It might sound like an odd question, but if you’re thinking of moving, it’s worth asking yourself: if you walked through your front door for the first time today, would you want to buy it? After nearly 30 years in property, one thing I know for certain is this – presentation matters. Massively. I completely understand why people don’t always see it. When you live somewhere every day, you stop noticing things. The pile of shoes by the front door becomes invisible. The tired pa
