I love to give our wonderful Veterans a little celebrity treatment so here is a little tribute to these amazing men and women who gave everything for us all to be here today. To see 40 more pictures and a voice over to inspire our youth to say hello and thank our veterans for what […]

I have to say I am quite literally  astonished that my recent post about the golden oldie superstar Bob Woods sitting alone in a supermarket cafe has had over 200,000 views in the past 7 days. This has really inspired me to start  a #justsayhello campaign to work towards celebrating our wonderful older generation So […]

I swim in a local pool and I often see a very tall man get into the water at the opposite end. He is probably 75 and he wears a very pulled up vintage swimming costume. On this day he was swimming backstroke. I could not help notice a fountain of water 2 feet high […]

Everyday I go swimming at around 7 AM at the fabulous Orpington Swimming Baths. This daily routine has literally changed  my daily life, and helps me start the day with a spring in my step. Most of us struggle to get out of bed and I still do, however for me now the lure of […]

It was 7:45 in the AM this morning and I was feeling like a sardine, sitting on a packed commute train toward London. As usual, no one was talking to each other. The front pages of the national newspapers said that one million elderly people are alone. Jeremy Hunt will make a speech to care […]

This was a day I will never ever forget as I met one of the most wonderful couples in Scotland  I was sitting in Victor the Volvo outside Ormond Street Hospital and I was reading Classic Car Weekly looking at Volvos 240 GL. I love these Volvos and I am always looking out to see […]

Another rather nice person. Today, as I walked through Victoria Station in a hurry, late for a meeting, I noticed an older lady in a wheelchair with white bandages around both her hands. She looked alone as she was sitting in the middle of the station. As usual, people just bypassed her as if she […]
