I know, but I dyed it for so long then I got fed up, had it cut short and modern and let the grey show loud and proud - everyone said it knocked years off me!! So it just shows. I feel my 63 years when I gt puffed out and the limbs are a little stiff in the morning, but at no other time do I let it get to me.<br />Was driving home from Norwich today down the old A47 and then up the windy twisty lanes to Gayton then to Grimston, and all the blossom was out, green buds everywhere, and in the sunshine it was wonderfully uplifting. More sunshine please!

I had high blood pressure at 37 despite being a normal weight, a heart condition and cataracts at 43 ( both normally seen in people much older), and I now have Heberden's nodes on my fingers like my Mum who is in her 70s! On the outside I don't look too bad - minimal grey hairs or wrinkles, but the aches and pains tell me I'm much older than my 50 years. I refuse to give in to any of it though, and have been out and about today,have painted yet more trellis this afternoon and will be going to the allotment tonight.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-79339218432024289762015-04-23T14:26:32.110+01:002015-04-23T14:26:32.110+01:00Only some days do I feel old, when the sun is shin...Only some days do I feel old, when the sun is shining I feel a reasonable age.Mac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-25943233345014795702015-04-23T14:13:19.960+01:002015-04-23T14:13:19.960+01:00I go day to day never remembering how old I am, on...I go day to day never remembering how old I am, once I passed 45 it didnt seem important any more, its only a number after old not a measure of with you have filled the passing years with.

The birds will look forward to my cherries, usually gone overnight and I hope for more than the 2 apples I had last year. Just walking in the forest this morning The New Forest) with my dog and was delighted to see all the beech trees are out. They are absolutely stunning in the springtime, against the blue sky, so fresh and green.<br /><br />I certainly don't feel my age in my mind but my body is not too sure. I keep going all day until I suddenly realise that the pain in my back is more than just a nuisance and then a sit with a hot water bottle usually sorts me out. I am watching Poldark at the moment on the recorder so an hour soon passes and I am up and running again.<br /><br />I have just finished a beige cardigan using a ribbed knit fabric and I thought it would be very useful but I do feel very invisible in it and my husband says it is too bland so it may not stay long. I think beige is for blondes which is weird as they are pale themselves.<br /><br />Just sorting my wardrobe this morning and removing a few items for the CS and generally tidying it up. It is a double size, fitted wardrobe and all my stuff (winter and summer) goes in there which is great, although I don't have a lot of clothes.Jenny Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174438668766147257noreply@blogger.com
