As the years slip by
Today is our 47th wedding anniversary, so after the morning school run we tootled off into Derbyshire, enjoyed a pleasant lunch at our favourite café and generally managed to make the best of the weather.
It’s a strange business looking back over 47 years. Seems a heck of a long time, yet where did it all go? Of course we’ve had a better time of it than any previous generation. We know that.
The question which niggles is what happens now? How will future generations keep the show on the road? Only by being harder and more pragmatic than we were. Only by knowing who their enemies are, only by doing something about it. That’s my guess.

Well, congratulations! For being an example to all us married folk with such an impressive score. And also for knowing a good cafe that's kept going.
Whatever happens, all the best.
Hearty congratulations from everyone at Cripple Creek!
so the theory goes that if one is ten years old a year is 10% of your life, so seems a long time compared to a hundred year old and 1 %
That thought does nothing to diminish the nagging, although purchasing a cat with borderline personality disorder does deflect some of it elsewhere
Sam and Jannie - thanks. It does feel like an achievement but Mrs H and I are very well suited. We both have a jaundiced eye.
Anon - I hope you have an appropriate name for your cat with the borderline personality disorder. Lots spring to mind.
A K Haart,
Many congratulations and best wishes to you both.
Keep fighting the good fight through your keyboard before 'they' decide to take them from us...
Mac - thanks and yes we should all keep fighting the good fight through our keyboards. Does it make a difference? I don't know but not doing it would make no difference at all. We do know that.
Many congratulations to you both!
I think going for Gold is your next incentive!
Scrobs - yes that's next and maybe we'll be rid of the coronavirus nonsense by then.
I have one name for it, whereas the wife has a list that gets longer by the day, and most imaginative
Best to both of you.
Congratulations! We're 45 this year...
I'm sorry to say that we've lived through the Good Times that produce Weak Men; we all know what comes next.
Anon - wives are good at lists.
James - thanks.
Peter - you are right, although Net Zero may bring the good times to an end. Maybe that could turn our to be positive.
