Welcome to the blog

Welcome to my new blog where I will be discussing many things related to being middle aged.

No longer does this mean caravan holidays and cardigans as it seems to have done when my father was 'middle aged' . Middle aged now seems to start much later in life,probably somewhere around 50 although I know of many middle aged people who have significantly more energy than many a teenager!

So do I really welcome being middle aged? Well, yes and no .. Obviously, the older we get, the nearer to the big wind down and also things do start to ache a little more but on the plus side, all that teenage angst and worry? No thanks ....!!!

I sometimes think it would be nice to have the desire and energy to hurl myself into the middle of a mosh pit, but then I remember how enjoyable it is too, just to sit at a county cricket game, taking in the relaxing atmosphere or to listen to some jazz, without wondering if it's a cool thing to do or not.

On a Victor Meldrew note, it's also good to have reached that age when it's ok to moan about youngsters ... Only kidding .... maybe ;-)

So, here is my welcome ... I hope to post many articles here over the years.

Enjoy.
