This is my childhood home, the property on which it stands had been in the family since the 12th century. My family, on my father's side, are apparently direct descendants of a UK historical figure. Our house was built on the foundations of his. My father sold the property in 1984 as none of his...

All too often some people seem to think the elderly need treating differently to those who are younger. I think this is unpleasant and patronising. If they have the full use of their mental faculties, they are like they ever were, nice, nasty or somewhere in between. An elderly (85) neighbour...

My husband called me down a few minutes ago. Just as he was going out for his afternoon walk he discovered by the front door a hedgehog curled up on stone, we found years ago, which looks like a hedgehog! I haven't seen a live hedgehog, or a dead one for that matter, for many years! I have put...

I chat to myself all the time, I have some tremendous arguments with just me, and always point out when I am wrong, even though I am always right!;););)

I have changed the bedding today and put a new duvet set on my bed. I hope my grandchildren are jealous, I think it enhances my senility street cred!:D

This a photo I took at our previous property a few years ago.

This topic is not meant to be too gloomy and humour is encouraged. If you are anything like me, the older you get the faster and faster the days seem to fly by, and one can't help thinking that the final curtain is looming larger with each passing week. Does this thought make you scared, or do...

I have a wonderful family, home and neighbourhood. I enjoy my hobbies particularly my digital art and creating pictures for people, which make them happy. :)

'I had to take over the wheel!' My Dad would sometimes drive with me on his knee when I was tiny, totally illegal then, as now!

Honestly I am not safe to be near anything that has any heat in it! :rolleyes:I was doing the ironing a few minutes ago, and dropped something on the floor. Instead of being sensible and putting the iron down I held onto it as I picked the item up, and managed to burn my left wrist. The burn is...

I know I am a daft old bat, not that I would have it any other way, :D but at least I can laugh at my silly self, can you?

Do you exercise daily, and you do enjoy or endure it? As I am arthritic I makes a point of exercising every day to stop myself stiffening up. I have at least two 20 minute walks, three sessions on the exercise bike, step ups and mild aerobics. For me exercise is more of an endurance than a...

What time do you usually get up in the morning and turn in at night? I am usually up by 7.15am and go to bed between 9/10pm.

9/11Remembered Ground Zero, a constant reminder of that infamous day, Lives shattered, broken hearts remain unmended In an instant a young country grew old. Then nation’s spark died and has yet to be rekindled. Time, the great healer, will gradually lessen the hurt, Some will find the...

Many humans have a great desire to worship celebs, deities, and sports teams in particular. In the UK there is an expression, 'Football (soccer) isn't a religion, it is much more important than that'! It would appear that Jesus was the celeb of his day, putting on a good performance for his...
