Sometimes a comment or memory will make me think that a member is older or indeed younger than I might have expected.
A recent reference to school trips in the 1930's had me trying to work out the maths. smile
How would you feel about revealing your age? I am prepared to be impressed, especially as so many members seem to be so active and involved in many things.

PRINTMISS I'm not sure why smile I hope I haven't offended you. I just got the impression from your posts that you were younger.

I'm 70 this year. Most of my friends have turned or are coming up to 70. I've know them since they were young women and it does seem strange to think of us all being in our 70s.

I knew you were in your 80s Printmiss and as others have said you would never know.
Also I think Bijou is in her 90s - has she posted yet?
I had my 20th birthday on Feb 29th this year - how did I manage to have the family that I have? (TG.)

I am 70 in November. Not worried about revealing my age - the only one who's shocked by the fact is me!

I was 63 last month. I had my son when I was 24, and my daughter three years later. I became a grandmother at 53, and now have five lovely little'ns. Last year, we became foster parents to a fourteen-year old. (Ever had that feeling of deja vu???)
