A Mini-Travelogue from Nadia – a road trip in France and Spain

7 mn read Mountain life The northern French Alps in September is one of my favourite places anywhere. Ten years ago, we were able to buy a little old chalet in a village on the route de La Plagne and I didn’t imagine just how much I would come to adore autumn here in themountains. The sun is still […]

Portals to Other Worlds

Posted in Advantages of Age

8 mn read Michael Ward is 70. He lives in a cottage in Dorset. This is his story. I was born in Ireland in 1952. We were a nice middle-class family: two parents, two children, living in a pleasant cul de sac named Ardmore Drive, on the outskirts of Belfast. On the surface, everything seemed fine. As the […]

I Love my Wrinkles

Posted in Advantages of Age

5 mn read No, I don’t actually love my wrinkles. At least, not yet. Which is why I am writing this piece, for anyone who has an ambivalent relationship with their own wrinkles. They are part of a body that is aging. Perhaps that’s why I’m not so keen – it’s evidence right before my eyes that actually, […]

I’m Okay With Being Called Old – finding ways to re-imagine that word.

Posted in Advantages of Age

I didn’t mean it in that British understating-slightly-funny-because-I’m-embarrassed way, I meant it in a quietly proud way. He didn’t get it. He thought I was being self-effacing. No, you’re […]

The Camino Frances – the inestimable value of a good walking companion

Posted in Advantages of Age

24 mn read On Sundays, when I was growing up, we ate dessert with either cream or custard served out of a jug bearing the legend No road is long with good company. I used to wonder what that phrase meant, not appreciating the truth of these words until I was well into adulthood and, even then, often […]
