- Inspired after supermarket shopping delivery and used vegetables to cover up A fun-loving 80-year-old has stripped off for a cheeky charity calendar* to help beat the boredom of lockdown blues.
Hazel Sargent, from Cranham, Essex, was stuck at home this summer as she was having to shield from coronavirus due to her ongoing battle with bone cancer.
When her supermarket shopping delivery arrived Hazel had a flash of inspiration and used the vegetables to cover up for a naughty nude pic.
The perky pensioner sent the silly snap to her golfing pals on WhatsApp and was amazed when they urged her to send more to brighten up their day.
With her partner, Bob, behind the lense the pair created a series of fun photos which have now been put together for a golf calendar to raise money for Little Havens Hospice.

'I'm a bit silly really but I just had a flash of inspiration so gave Bob a shout 'can you come and take some photos please'.
'It was all a bit of fun but luckily our garden isn't over-looked so we were able to do a series of pictures without being spotted.

'It certainly helped beat the boredom of lockdown and hopefully it will put a smile on people's faces.
The retired seamstress is a member of Upminster Golf Club which has strict dress codes and she had to get the tee off for the print run from the lady captain.
'It all just started out as a way of making my pals at the golf club laugh as I wasn't able to get out,' she explained. 'I'd never ever done anything like this before in my life.
'I was a bit worried that some of the members at the club wouldn't be keen but it's all tastefully done and they've loved it.'
Mum-of-two Hazel has done an initial run of 100 of the £10 calendars which have all sold out.

In total she's raised £1,650 with extra money from people making donations but refusing the calendar.
'Some people have given me the money but said keep the calendar, I wasn't really sure whether I should be offended or not. But it's all good fun.
'My children are really proud of me for the calendar but I think they couldn't quite believe it when I told them what I was up to,' Hazel added.
Retired scaffolder, Bob, 83, said: 'It was really good fun and I'm very proud of Hazel.
'We all need a smile on our faces at the moment as life has been tough for us all - hopefully this will help people do that.'
