Thank you so much keberoxu. So kind of everybody! I don't actually feel all that much older (I'm 73 now!) although sitting on The Bench in the sunshine has tanned my face and given me a few wrinkles. Ah well, at least it may have boosted my vitamin D levels, which helps the immune system! As my (very) Norfolk neighbour says, "Yew gotta keep a-troshing mawther!"
