Hello folks, I am Gordon, age 74, widowed 13 years, living on the
outskirts of Manchester.
Three grown children, son in Australia, daughter in California, elder
daughter a few miles away from here.
Three grandchildren spread around the world. ;-)


mostly it has been planned as low-maintenance as I have grown older,
with shrubs and perennials as I have become ancient.

74 isn't ancient!

I keep telling him that Mary, at 71 I think I have a right to protest such
thinking:-)

Indeed.
.
I have forgotten most of what I once knew!

No, it's all still in there. Your memory is perfect, like mine.

The retrieval system might be corrupted though :-(

Oh I like that.

I've been saying it for such a long time that I think it might be original.
But I shan't charge royalties :-)

Bobbie, Grandma of two little beauties, Scottish by birth, living in
Dorset.

I can't keep track of the nationalities of our family, I do know that I was
born about two miles from here and haven't lived any further away. Spouse
didn't tell me that his grandmother was Irish until we'd tied the knot, I
thought I was continuing the tradition of being pure English.

Whatever that is :-)
