LIFE live it well
Most parents dream of
seeing their children
getting married, but what
if the wedding was abroad
and your travel insurer
wouldn’t cover you?
That was the issue facing Jean Garner
and her husband, Charles, both in their
seventies, when their son and soon-
to-be daughter-in-law announced they
would be getting married in New York.
FINDING SPECIALIST COVER
The Garners both have medical
conditions to declare on their travel
insurance. Jean is in remission from
cancer and has an issue with her
thyroid. Charles is also in remission
from cancer, plus lives with kidney
ailments and Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD). As a
result of Charles’ kidney conditions,
he requires regular dialysis, and would
require it whilst in the US.
When Jean fi rst looked into travel
insurance for the coming trip they
were fl atly refused by well-known,
mainstream providers because of
their ages and medical conditions. She
went online to try and fi nd a solution
and eventually discovered AllClear, a
specialist provider that covers all ages,
conditions and destinations.
“I didn’t know that such companies
existed,” she says. “I had really been
around the houses looking for cover
at a price we were willing to pay. That
was a stressful process, and it was
a huge relief to know there was a
solution available.
PEACE OF MIND
“Seeing our son get married is
obviously very important to us and
understanding the costs of medical

  treatment abroad in the US, we
  were not happy to take the risk of
  potentially paying for it ourselves,”
  she explains. “And our son would not
  allow it!”
  The couple took out a single trip,
  joint policy to cover their trip to the
  US, and said even at £3,300 they
  consider it good value:
  “We were quoted in excess of
  £5,000 by other specialist providers,”
  explains Jean. “We felt that the cost
  was worth the peace of mind it gave
  not only myself and husband, but
  also my son and his fi ancé – with
  their big day on the horizon the last
  thing they want to worry about is our
  travel insurance!”
  TRAVELLING WITH CONFIDENCE
  Jean purchased the policy over
  the phone and adds that the service
  was excellent: “The professional and
  knowledgeable approach meant we’re
  entirely confi dent we are covered for
  every eventuality.”

  The 1980s shoulder is
  back – and it’s bigger than
  ever. Keep an eye out for
  accentuated shoulders on
  blazers and vintage-style
  trench coats as seen at
  Mugler, Balenciaga and
  Balmain. Belt your blazer

  create an hourglass

  It was clear from their
  safari-inspired looks that
  Dolce & Gabbana, Max

  McCartney all had sunnier
  climes in mind for their
  spring/summer looks.
  Bulky jackets, military

  belts all added up to
  classic safari style.

The last few seasons

have been ruled by the

micro bag. Thankfully,

for the hoarders among

us, the big clutch is back.

The Bottega Veneta

oversized squishy clutch

Versace, Isabel Marant

and Givenchy have all

followed suit.
