I was a very late baby born to father 54 and mother 40 (1965) - I look at pictures of me aged 18 and my mother aged 58 and she is old, elegant and beautiful, but old. I’m 58 and (according to my 30 something nieces) look more their age…. Perhaps it was growing up during WWII and rationing that aged people? Sadly Poppa died when I was 23 (he was 76) and Muvva at 67 so I’ve lived longer without them than with them…. They’d probably throw their hands up in despair at my life (boring housewife with lots of delicious wines and a house in Provence) but secretly envy me…

I wake up every day and think of something joyful - even something as simple as my cat purring next to me or the promise of a delicious bottle of Bon Remede Secret de Vincent!

Also all that good food you eat - lots of variety - could be part of the picture too Fiona. I almost fell off my chair when you announced you are 75. What a role model!!!
