Ageist society – Conversations with an Older Woman

Hello again!

Hi everyone Another gap between these blog posts! But again, I haven’t been idle, as there is a new post on My Other Blog, which you can read if you so wish. OK, is this going to be a post

My name is Penny Kocher, I am 80 years old, and I live in the UK, in a small county town called Lewes. I used to write two blogs: Frugal Fashion Shopper and My Other Blog.
My reasons for setting up this new blog is how do we make these years the ‘best of times’ whilst also acknowledging and dealing with our ageing bodies.

So, this new blog will have posts on health issues, but I will also write about films, television, books and visits to art galleries. Occasionally thrown into the mix will be a post on style, and ones that are more serious and/or political.

Above all I hope to have conversations with everyone who reads this blog. Ageing comes to us all – let’s look at this ageing lark together!
