I left my husband of 34 years — now I'm having the best sex of my life at 70
She's sexed up at 70.
A grandmother who left her husband of 34 years to have hot and heavy hook-ups says she's loving her late-in-life sexual awakening.
Tina Pemberton feels younger than ever after downloading dating apps and jumping into bed with new men.
'I'm living life as a teenager,' the randy retiree told Jam Press. 'I feel ageless and I actually think I've become a happier person. I look better than I did 20 years ago.'
Pemberton previously lived a quiet life in rural Norfolk, England where she was trapped in an unhappy marriage.
'There was a big age gap, he was 18 years older, and it suddenly didn't work,' the grandmother explained of her former spouse. 'I was full of energy, wanting to do things, and living in the country didn't do it for me.'
She decided to divorce her husband and relocate to London, where her son was living.
Inspired by her new surroundings, Pemberton turned to dating apps at the behest of a friend.
'I had never been on dating apps in my life,' said the gregarious grandmother, who hadn't been courted since her twenties
Soon, it was time for Pemberton to have sex with someone new for the first time in almost half a century.
'They say as you get older you dry up a bit but I met someone who knew exactly what to do. He used lubricants and everything to make me feel good,' she enthused. 'It worked and I could not believe it. I was on cloud nine. I hop-skipped, danced, jumped everywhere — it really does work.'
Pemberton doesn't have plans to re-marry, or even acquire a long-term boyfriend.
For now, she's enjoying her newfound freedom, despite encountering her fair share of duds on the dating apps and occasionally getting ghosted.
Meanwhile, Pemberton also wants to become an advocate for other older women.
'I'm trying to break the taboo of older women enjoying sex and having a love life,' she declared. 'It's very healthy – it's very good for endorphins, good for everything.'
'I would never have thought this would happen to me, and that's why it's so surprising,' the grandmother added. 'They say good things come to those who wait.'

Zawe Ashton Reveals Her Second Pregnancy in Emilia Wickstead
Ahead of her appearance on the red carpet for the closing of the SXSW festival in London, Zawe Ashton has a very special announcement to make, shared exclusively with Vogue: she and her husband Tom Hiddleston are expecting their second child. Given the momentous nature of the news, choosing the right look for the occasion was paramount. To reveal her growing baby bump, the glowing British actor will take to the red carpet in a resplendent, sleeveless sky-blue silk crepe gown with tumbling frill details, worn beneath a svelte, puddling cape in matching fabric. Photo: Rhys Frampton Designed by Emilia Wickstead, the look's poignancy derives not only from the significance of the occasion, but also from the fact that Ashton and the designer are longstanding collaborators and friends. 'We met years ago at the British Fashion Awards when she dressed me and we attended together,' Ashton reminisces. 'We had the most fabulous night and instantly felt like kindred spirits. We aligned so much on fashion and womanhood, and I've always loved her designs. They embody a seamless blend of classic and contemporary, and she's also just an incredible craftsperson. You feel the level of detail that goes into every piece when you wear them.' 'Dressing Zawe is always a joy, but this moment feels especially meaningful and full circle,' Wickstead says. 'Zawe wore a soft pink gown from us during her last pregnancy—quietly glowing, with a little secret only she knew. Now, to celebrate her second in this beautiful blue from our pre-fall collection, and to share it with the world, feels like a sweet continuation of that story. I'm so honored to be part of it. Zawe is also such a vibrant, clever and special friend and muse of the brand—she's been wearing Emilia Wickstead for years, and I love being part of her journey.'

A quirky vegetable sculpture contest features a squash Donald Trump and a papal 'cornclave'
LONDON (AP) — Vegetable likenesses of Donald Trump and Dolly Parton and a papal 'cornclave' went on display Saturday at the Lambeth Country Show, an urban take on a country fair held annually in London's Brockwell Park. The two-day show features sheep-shearing, livestock competitions, food, music and a vegetable sculpture contest that has attracted national renown for its quirky creativity. This year, several sculptures recreated the recent papal election, including one featuring cardinals made of maize, titled 'Cornclave.' Other entries included Irish rap trio Kneecap in potato form, 'Cauli Parton' in a movie-inspired tableau titled '9 to Chive,' a vegetable 'Mo Salad' likeness of Liverpool soccer star Mo Salah and animated icons Wallace and Gromit made from butternut squash. Trump also got the butternut squash treatment, while some entries referred to local politics. In Lambeth, as in other parts of London, local authorities have turned to holding large concerts and festivals in parks as a way to raise money, to the chagrin of some neighbors. 'Wolf Hall' actor Mark Rylance, one of a group of local residents opposed to big events in Brockwell Park, is represented as 'Mark Rylunch,' with an apple-carved head and satirical signs branding him a NIMBY (not in my backyard) campaigner. 'Every year, this is what we get so excited about, is the vegetable sculptures,' said Country Fair regular Maddy Luxon. 'It's just so unique and just so witty and we love the political ones.' 'And the puns,' said Marek Szandrowski, who was with her. 'The vegetable puns, definitely.'
