SPRING is in the air, so we have turned our thoughts to love and romance and take a look at the pitfalls and pleasures of joining a dating agency.

Alternatively, if spring makes you think of all the jobs that need doing around the home then we talk to the two women behind a new business venture which promises to help you make change without any hassle.

Joanna Trollope talks about her long and illustrious career as a successful novelist and her absolute joy in being a grandmother of three.

Prime Time's health columnist Mary Sheppard looks at the option of hiring a personal trainer. Once the preserve of the rich and famous, they are now used by people who want to get fit but don't like the thought of going to the gym.

And we take inspiration from three people who are living proof that you're never too old to learn.

With all our regular columns we hope there is plenty for you to read and enjoy in this month's Prime Time.
