WELCOME to August’s edition of Lifetime, the magazine aimed at “active over-45s”… and they don’t come much more active than Meryl Streep, star of this summer’s cinematic blockbuster Mamma Mia!

The Oscar-winning Hollywood legend tells us what it was like making the movie in Greece… and singing a duet with former James Bond hunk Pierce Brosnan.

Another bundle of energy, TV presenter and New Forest resident Esther Rantzen, talks to Nicky Findley about her new book, If Not Now, When? Esther, famous for That’s Life, describes herself as a “glass half-full” person, and says “at long last, I think the invisibility and inaudibility of people over 50 is beginning to change.”

John Torode, from BBC TV’s MasterChef, reveals his greatest fear, the most famous person in his phone book – and the best advice he’s ever been given. With the Beijing Olympics this month, we look at Chinese food recipes – and in the garden, it’s roses that come under the spotlight.

Jeremy Miles rounds up August’s entertainments, with stars such as Paul Daniels, Cannon and Ball, and Brotherhood of Man back on the local scene; plus there’s the chance to win a deluxe four-CD set of Elvis Presley songs.

Then there’s fashion, health and Peter Tate’s Nature Notes; not forgetting our travel report, on the increasing popularity of camping and caravanning – all this and more in August’s LifeTime.
