Saga Magazine January 2020 : Page 1

In this issue of Saga Magazine : Did you grow up with the March family? Maybe you identified with tomboy Jo or caring Beth? As yet another film version of Little Women goes on release – the seventh! – in this month’s issue, Joanna Moorhead, mother of four girls, talks about the uncanny parallels between real life and fiction – and how the fictional family’s values have stood the test of time.
Elsewhere, as Richard Hammond turns 50, he reflects on how he didn’t expect to live long enough to appear in Saga Magazine – and looks forward to his next half century.
If you’re doing Dry January – and you’ll probably want to after reading our health feature on alcohol and the over-50s – Joe Fattorini has delicious ideas for alternative no-alcohol tipples.
On other pages, read former MP Tom Watson’s journey to lose eight stone and reverse Type 2 diabetes; marvel at inspirational encounters with orang-utans in Borneo; and discover the world’s most extreme winter sports from the comfort of your armchair.
