Suggested by jings of jangly fame. If you want to take part, post your age and what region of the country (or which country!) you live in.

I'm still 59 until next month and I live in Argyll, Scotland.

Well I am another 69 year old, our fathers must have all been celebrating the end of the war. grin

I have one DS 41, 2 little terrors of GSs who I love to bits. And a DH who has just nursed my sister and me back to health after a bout of gastroenteritis - I shall knit him a medal.

I live in the Thames Valley. If I find the binoculars I can see the river from our house.

Happy 45th tomorrow Kitty it's our 44th later this month.

Finally if this is not being rude I think you look as if you have a bit of a wet nose Alea grin
