Lost-In-Tech

Hi, I have very recently undergone cataract operations. All going very well, it's almost two weeks ago now. Whilst thoroughly enjoying my new much improved sight have been shocked at my reflection in the mirror. I only ever wore makeup when I used to work but not since, am now in my mid 70s, so all the new names and so called miracles different products can do has somewhat overwhelmed me. Would really welcome some advice as to where I should start, not anything too obvious. As most of my spare time involves pottering on fair days in my garden, just some basic starting pointers, then I won't be so frightened of catching sight of myself in the mirror plus am sure my flower beds would app

Have got a lovely house in Wales. Garden is all South facing, plus due to being very high, not quite on a mountain, both sun and high winds are a problem in Summer. I enjoy pottering in my garden, but I do need to make some shade somehow. Am too old to wait for trees to mature! Need an idea that won't cost the earth, can stand up to the winds and doesn't need an army to construct. Have been pondering this for five years now and really want to be outside this coming Summer rather than hiding in the shade indoors. I do have a small summerhouse but once again it gets far too hot. Is there a sensible solution that I am missing?
