Very welcoming Sandra ..so cheerful on these dark dreary days oh well not many more of these short days ..

it will soon come round ray, get xmas over then we are on the straight for spring lol. ive got a lovely week away in jan, for my 50th, a surprise holiday from baz, wont know where till at airport ;o)))

Oh that ll be nice Sandra and what a great time to get away ..well I ll wish you very early birthday wishes I ll leave Toto to tell you how good you look and hard to believe your age etc hes so much better at it than me ..

Here it would be a holiday ? Good grief I took you out Christmas eve to get the shopping in ...

lol,cant believe i will be 50, seemed old when my parents were that age but now im here i dont feel quite the same about it lol, yes toto is good at the sweet talk dont mention xmas shopping grr hehe, oh and thanx for the early birthday wishes to ;o)

Remember my grandparents Sandra my grandmother with grey hair an apron and those checked slippers with a bobble on the front she was 50 in 1965 and I have earlier memories so would have been like this in her forties . A bit sad that they felt old so soon.

My grandfather very cynical about old age pension he said it was introduced to ensure few people lived long enough to claim it .

your right they looked old before their time , but then again life was tougher for them, no easy home gadgets, women stayed at home to raise kids and clean, not as much freedom to choose ray, there is more in the media about for woman now, having time for themselves, and pressure to keep looking good, changed so quickly to in such a short time,
think your granfather had a point there :o))

Sorry to digress Sandra but think it has to do with mental outlook cant believe you actually feel old you certainly dont look it.

My grandmother had no mental expectation of life beyond a certain age yet other ladies from her generation have lived well into their nineties ..despite my grandfathers cynicism he got 25 years of pension.When pensions first introduced 65 seemed positively ancient.

Never knew my mothers parents as both died in their fifties .. think it great that ladies continue to look so good and expect to live to a healthy old age .

Media pressure would have ladies believe that we men all hanker after younger girls... that is so untrue.Most of us really cant be doing with them oh they might be nice to look at but living with them .. no thanks .

sound like baz, he says that about the young ones lol, i dont feel old and when im having a good day i look and think, not to bad for 50,, lol some days feel and look 70 lol, but age doesnt really bother me as long as i have my health, i admit i even tried botox and fillers a couple of years ago, then i suddenly thought when looking at a new passport pic, my god what am i doing, it just wasnt me anymore in the pic, so stopped, that was about 2 years ago, im me now and happy with that :o))

Well so glad to hear that Sandra and clearly Baz thinks world of you .. eventually us men realise more important whats on the inside than the outside.

Erm not that your outside looks bad either ..think PP and hubby have the answer happy with one another so what else matters ? Worked for them for 50 years .

So guess they must be doing something right .. bless them.

Thanks for the lovely welcome Sandra :o)

thanx ray, lol, and yes its so lovely to see people like pp and hubby still going strong and so happy to :o))
your very welcome hywel :o)))

Looks very nice and welcoming.

cheers carol:o)) so damn windy here today isnt it :o(

Really cheesed of with this wind best bit is its not that cold and with all the rain my lawn needs cutting, heaven knows when it will get done as the grass is so wet.

luckerly i cut the grass just before all this started, its so soden now it would be impossible to cut,;o(

Tell me about it.....

glad you made it ..little beautiful basket
