    Marjorie's take will focus upon how she advises clients as they contemplate a move into a different phase in their lives, be it a change in their health or employment. This includes considerations about where people live and how they fund their lives currently and will do so in the future, such that their needs are met and their wishes of bequeathing assets to relatives, can be achieved. The talk will include reference to examples of her work.

    For more information on Marjorie visit the Kitsons' website.

    A short text written in Italian by a member of the Tavy u3a Italian Improvers group about “strangozzi”, a particular pasta shape popular in Umbria, triggered an interest in this iconic foodstuff and sent the presenter down a rabbit hole of research to learn about the origins of pasta, the Arab occupation of Sicily, the difference between “hard” and “soft” wheat, the hatred of the clergy in the Papal States, the use of pasta as a murder weapon, the industrialisation of pasta production and the foundation of a new “religion”.

    Paul Ward, a member and former chair of Tavy District u3a, leads the Italian Improvers Group. As a retired paediatrician, Paul’s only qualifications for speaking on this topic are an inquiring mind and a love of both food and Italy.

    **DUE TO RISING COVID FIGURES IN WEST DEVON THIS TALK WILL NOW ONLY BE DELIVERED VIA ZOOM - UPDATED 31/08/2021**
