Put down

Ha ha, how kids can bring you down to earth!

I’ve just walked Hettie up the village to the woods. The dense shade literally singing with the sound of insects escaping the harsh sun.

I’m coming home when I see a boy about six peering down from a turret on one of those solid wooden climbing frames. I don’t know him but I shout ‘Hi up there!’

I have to smile to myself when I clearly hear him say to his friend,

‘Who’s that old Lady’?

I’ve my sun dress on in this season’s fashionable brown, sandals my daughter deemed as ‘trendy’ and designer sunglasses from TK Maxx.

I thought I looked quite good for my age but obviously not!

Funny thing being sen through someone else’s eyes. I suppose I thought 64 was old once upon a time!
