Today my partner Harvey has reached a milestone - he is 60!
Arghhh you might think but believe me this getting older thing isn't half as bad as one would expect. The freedom is wonderful after teaching the children to fend for themselves and worries become fewer.
The government will give 2 gifts to Harvey today - one is a Bus Pass and two is a £200 per year Heating Allowance. He won't get to use the bus pass much as the only bus here is The Post Bus - a Royal Mail Van with a few seats in it - that doesn't even come as far as our hamlet in the hills. The heating allowance will go a little way to pay for the massive heating bills we pay for such a small cottage.
He is my best friend and soul mate and has never managed to bore me and as Dorothy Parker once said:

I might repeat to myself slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound - if I can remember any of the damn things.
HAPPY 6TH DECADE H!
