A new start after 60: Menopausal and out of work, I sat crying in my car. Now, I’m a standup...

When Barbara Scully tried to get a job after years as a stay-at-home mum, no one would hire her. So she made her own work as a writer and broadcaster – and soon found herself on TV and stage

Oh the good old holidays... So great to hear Barbara Scully's fun stories from her time at JWT! @barbarascully And we are loving the cabin bag too! irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/… @irishexaminer #Nostalgia #IrishTravel #JWTHolidays #JWTTravel
