life's meant to start at forty,
or so they all seem to say
thirty-nine, three.six.four days
forty's just one day away
only 20 years till pension day,
nagging in the queue
a loaf of breads gone up 3p
that's all it seems to do
wrinkles all around your face,
hair greying, recently dyed,
brought up in the swinging 60's
the truth may be denied.
why does forty sound so old
why does everyone pretend
that they are only twenty-one
(plus another nineteen)!

Life seems to fly by Quicker these days, suddenly you've reached Old age and wondering where time went. We had a family meal with the girls and decorated the house in balloons and Banners. Seems a lifetime ago when we Meet we have been together since 30 May 1988. Time to get the order in for a couple of rocking chairs.....
February is a very busy month for our Family all the male side of my husbands family have their Birthday in the same week, separated by just 4 days. Now that's some organisation by his mother. Our third Daughter also celebrated her 17th birthday at the end of the month.
