I was born in 1939 BC.
That’s ‘Before Computers’.
Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as
World War II, The London Blitz, Rationing, and worst of all… Archbishop Temple’s School.
During the mid 1950s I was enjoying Rock ‘n’ Roll and being a first generation teenager, when suddenly, just like Elvis, I found myself in uniform during ‘The Cold War’…and then
I became ‘a family’. Which meant that I sort of missed the ‘swinging sixties’, but still managed to look a complete prat in the 70s, just like everyone else.
During the ‘Thatcher Years’ I lost my hair and a lot of people lost a good deal more. My career fluctuated to say the least as I was demoted, promoted, fired and hired a number of times, but still I managed to stagger on into a welcome retirement and to celebrate 60 years of happy marriage.

It’s that time of year when I get the urge to do some serious eating and drinking, so I’m off to the south of France to sample the many delights of Provence and the Côte d’Azur.
I’ll be back in about four weeks…
… unless I get lucky at the local casino. 😀

OH NO…..I’m one day late in wishing you a Bon Voyage! I knew it was late May you were going.
I take it you will not have Internet access or be doing your blog for four weeks.
Well, I hope you have a great time! I’ll be very anxious to hear all about it when you return and hopefully, you’ll also have photos.

Thanks for all the good wishes.
Ferouzeh … I’m so sorry that I did not read your comment before I left the UK, as I was near Nice for most of the time at Sainte Maxime.
