A Good Life!
Well I am up late having slept well! I have walked the garden and all is good out there! So nothing to grumble about at all! So why did I wake up feeling disconcerted , anxious almost? I can find no easy answer to that question but I did! Searching through various Emails I find that someone has insinuated that I am not myself! The theme seems to be that I am probably too old for all this and I should try to get into a home....an old peoples home! Ha! Theres no denying that I am indeed old but I really have not lost it yet! I got the impression that the writer would quite like to see me tucked away sommewhere! But hard luck mate! I am not ready for that yet! And how did this become anything to do with you? Being over eighty is not a qualification for needing to be looked after! I have everything I need right now...the sun shines, the grass is cut, the fridge is full...if I ever get to the stage where I need to be looked after I will shout! Loud! but right now all is well with my world. If that is not good news to some people I am sorry..but life here in this warm summer is very good. I dont need people most of the time and when I do I can find them! Life over eighty is still life....still good...still happy. So please stop giving me advice as to what I should do next! I am a very fortunate woman. That I know! Why would I change my life into anything different?

Good afternoon from a dull, damp and cool Suffolk. How I envy your warm summer Cornwall 😊😊
Hope you are enjoying your day - I’ve resorted to watching the tennis!!
What a cheek!!
Someone thinking and even writing that you should be in a home? Nothing is further from the truth, as you have just demonstrated by your writeup today.
Not sure if you can block their emails, but at least mark it as spam so any future offerings are consigned to the place they deserve to be.
My SD is nearly 90, and when I met him the other day, he was full of bounce, just having returned from a Week's retreat at West Malling Abbey just down the Road from me. In past years we have been on retreat there together, but with the pandemic on, they had limited spaces, so I missed out.
And Barry, our Retired Priest is also 89 and is still active. He is taking a funeral next week and a Wedding a bit later in the year, as well as taking the communion service on the first Sunday of each month and filling in across the Deanery in vacancies.
Neither is needing to be in a care home and will not be for a good while yet.
So, slap down those cheeky people who seek to put you into care.
