I read an article written by Janet S Porter in the i this weekend, running down the idea of anyone wanting to go to the Glastonbury Festival. I just thought "Janet you're losing it!" and you're showing your real age not the one you imagine yourself to be...or perhaps no-one thought you interesting enough for a free ticket?
She then wrote about her earlier experiences at Glastonbury, full of nostalgic bravado. Nothing worse than an oldie telling everyone what anything used to be like in their day. laughing
So have fun one and all, don't tell anyone it used to be better when you were their age, it's a very ageing thing to say. I wonder what JSP did over the weekend whilst those thousands of all ages enjoyed themselves. wink

We had just returned to our parked car from a walk in the Lakes and a young lady was changing out of her walking boots.

"Wow, you two look really shattered" she said. "Have you walked around the Lake? It's quite a way for older folk".

"Not quite" I politely through gritted teeth replied. " We have just climbed up that mountain opposite, Red Pike, walked along the ridge, climbing higher, then down to that mountain over there, Haystacks, and then walked around the lake. Only 10 miles and a few thousand feet I know but when age catches up with you one has to learn to slow down a bit"

She had the decency to blush but didn't tarry to explain the feats of endeavour that she had just undertaken.

(Mind you we were probably a lot stiffer the following day than she was but don't tell her eh?)

Old age? It's for old minded people. I know old 30 y.o. and sprightly 86 y.o.

How many of us can remember the one in school who already seemed middle aged (equivalent of old age to a school child)?
