It was certainly too good to be true, according to the author. I had been looking for the right one after decades of trying multiple local NHS surgeries. OK, not exactly Shangri-La but the receptionist answered the phone quickly, the waiting room was not overflowing, medications were delivered accurately, and I knew I needed a great doctor I could trust and knew when I needed. However, as good things come, this happy relationship came to an end last week with a text alert advising the surgery's patients that we will no longer be able to make appointments by phone or by visiting the reception desk. Rather, they were upgrading to a 'triage' model, which could be accessed online. Undoubtedly, the latest technology will not be beneficial to a large number of elderly patients who may not have internet access and who may be confused by this process. It's certainly not beneficial to me. Patients will need to tick a variety of items, ranging from "heavy bleeding" to "crushing chest pain" to the need for repeat prescriptions, according to the instructions.

Sir Evelyn's third wife, American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and political power player Lynn Forester, 68, and her husband's offspring, Jessica, David, and Anthony were reported to be in squabbles between her husband and her husband's offspring.

Alice Sedgwick Wohl (inset), 91, has written an unflinching late in life memoir about her sister's luxurious but brutal childhood on a ranch in Santa Barbara and her sister's descent into bulimia and opioid use, which began when she was 13 years old when her father was arrested because she caught him having sex in the family living room with another woman. Sedgwick had spent nine months in a mental hospital where she became pregnant for the first time and had an abortion before she headed to New York and began her brief career as a muse to Andy Warhol. Sedgwick died of a barbiturate overdose at the age of 28 in 1971. Wohl (the eldest of eight Sedgwick siblings) claims she was alienated from her famous sister for the majority of her life. The basis of her latest book, 'As It Turns Out: Thinking About Edie and Andy,' explores the enduring success of her younger sister, who she once regarded as a "vain, shallow, spoiled child doing silly, meaningless stuff.' "I suppose I missed it then,' she says. I missed it in part because I didn't see it.' "I can say for Andy Warhol-all that I didn't have the eyes to see," she says.

It was originally intended for renowned novelist Paul Ford (inset) who was killed in the library by his brother in 1902 due to a money dispute.

In 1987, the staircase alone was worth $400,000 (roughly $1 million in today's money).
