The BIG 70


Mariko, my Japanese piano teacher, gave me these beautiful flowers for my birthday.  Thanks for your email greetings, Michael and Winifred.

I can't quite believe I'm 70 as only other people get old!  I still feel exactly the same inside as when I was 17.  And I still muddle along in life, finding experience doesn't help much.  If I have gained anything worth passing on, it is to not accumulate so much stuff.  I think I've moved house more than 30 times and have still ended up with far too much stuff.  The less you have, the better.

Of course, that does not include friends - I'm pretty good at accumulating friends.  I think I must appear friendly, as when I'm out I'm frequently approached by strangers asking directions.  And more than once I've been known to bring them home with me!!!
