Three cheers – it’s coats and jacket wear from now on!

Hello again I don’t know about you but I do love wearing cool-to-cold weather clothes, especially my coats. The weather in the UK has become cooler, quite windy and sometimes, exceedingly wet. So, I’ve finally put aside all my summer

Hello again! Here’s an update about the weather and my spine!

Hi everyone And a big thank you for all the wonderful comments you made on my last post. I found it quite reassuring to hear how many of you had suffered that awful nerve pain – and got over it.

About me

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!
