In this last V&A magazine (David Bowie on the cover) I read an article on famous fashion photographer Elsbeth Juda and suddenly recognised her from the photograph, as a lady I see often at my gym. I'd pigeon-holed her to being about 80 whereas in fact she's 101 and looks marvellous. I love the break-out list of what you propose doing.

But the ideas and enthusiasm never go away and even old pigeons can fly!

For some reason all walks of life seem to want to put you into one. Jumping from one to the other is perhaps one of life's joys.

I know the feeling (middle aged, midlist, in the shadows, etc) and can report that there is light at the end of the tunnel though the tunnel is very long indeed sometimes and these days, in publishing, even longer...not giving up is a good option I reckon. And I'm actually not middle aged any longer but rapidly approaching bona fide OLD AGE! Chin up!adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826710558292792068noreply@blogger.com
