I think it was much better 59 years ago even though I'm 44 :)

Indeed, there has been so much change in the name of progress, and not always for the best!

Those were the days when the village barber was the surgeon, and if you didn't have enough money you had to ride on the
roof of the stage coach, even in the rain...

I'm a lot older that your 59 and I was familiar with all of this and now, you have made me feel really decrepit. But, I think I like it fine just as long as I have some glucosamine with chondroitin for my joints.

Goodness Justi, I was talking to a lady and she was eighty years old she said she helped on the smallholding and when they got wet they had no other clothes to change into. A bit further back and the third baby and no food in the house. I don't think there would have been much refuse in the bins only a few ashes. I was amazed by your article though it just shows how soon folk forget. Thank you so much for your visits, the flowers are a bit time demanding but liven the spirit.

these...mind you I love the penicillin and all the inoculations and the dishwasher and clothes dryer but a slower paceed moral world suits me fine. Great post dear Lady.
