Gorgeous Lives: Francoise Malby Anthony & Katja Willemsen, An Elephant In My Kitchen

When Francoise Malby refused to share a taxi on a bone-chilling day in London with a scruffy, bearded man, it was the very last time she said no to future husband Lawrence Anthony. So when he said they should buy a game reserve in the Kwa-Zulu-Natal area of South Africa and start conservation work, Francoise said yes. When they received a call asking if they would take a herd of troubled and traumatised and therefore dangerous elephants, they said yes and so started the passionate partnership and adventure of their lives. When Lawrence died suddenly, Francoise was thrown into the deep end of managing all aspects of the game reserve and lodge and protecting her family of friends, colleagues and most importantly the wild animals who call Thula Thula home.

Great Reads: Anna Mazzola, The Story Keeper with Donna Freed

Anna Mazzola excels at creating the atmosphere of her historically set novels. In The Story Keeper, we follow Audrey Hart from 1857 London to the Isle of Skye where the clearances have wreaked havoc in the crofting communities where she is trying to work as a folklorist. Audrey is as embattled as she in enmeshed as girls start going missing. A chilling read for hot summer nights.

Gorgeous Lives: Actress Eve Crawford's Crusade on Parliament

Eve Crawford is petitioning Parliament to stop lawyers having access to counselling notes in rape and sexual assault cases. After she herself was assaulted, she was contacted by the Rape Crisis charity who while they encouraged her to avail herself of therapy, strictly cautioned her to not get it until after the trial. She was horrified to hear the reason why: her attacker's lawyers could use the counselling notes from her therapy sessions as evidence in her trial. She is driven by a desire to make the lives of other men and women who have been attacked slightly less hellish.

Please copy the link to sign her petition here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/223132

It is right that no one should go to prison who isn't guilty, but there are other ways to prove if someone is lying than invading the safe space of therapy after a traumatic assault. #silentnomore
