“You are Old Grandma Williams” the Young One said…
Later years? Happy Years!

“You are Old Grandma Williams” the Young One said…

‘You are old Grandma Williams,’ the young one said,
‘But your hair has not yet gone white
and yet you repeatedly stay in your bed.
Do you think at your age that is right?’

Wedding Anniversary Frolic? De Luxe Hotel? No!
Later years? Happy Years!

Wedding Anniversary Frolic? De Luxe Hotel? No!

Do the designers of these things ever try them out? Have the hoteliers ever used them? It seems highly unlikely that they ever thought of anyone over 70 wanting to enjoy a romantic bath, safely and easily

Caring but Ageist? The Kind Words that are a Trap.
Let's Challenge Unthinking Ageism

Caring but Ageist? The Kind Words that are a Trap.

Unthinking wording, kindly meant, yes, but pieces written in this way are demoralising and demeaning to older readers.

Internet – The Language Gap at 80+
Ageing Well, But The Odd Problem?

Internet – The Language Gap at 80+

The people of the IT world seem to live in a foreign land for which I have no map and with a different language which only they can speak.

Ageing Well, But The Odd Problem?

Fraying at the Edges..

So this is a report on findings from the Far Side of retirement. Maybe I should tell you, that I am increasingly convinced that you cannot truly understand old age until you have tried it! Quite a surprising period of life to live. You learn a lot!

Curiosity is Surprised by Life in Fife.

Time is short when you are in your 83rd year….and so many places still unvisited.

Rethink? OAP Romance: Housing,Caring, Sharing
Let's Challenge Unthinking Ageism

Rethink? OAP Romance: Housing,Caring, Sharing

Rethink? OAP Romance: Housing,Caring, Sharing How nice, an older couple want to love and care for each other.  But if they marry or live in partnership….trouble! Why? And too older people living  in large houses would like to downsize.  Makes sense to encourage it too, when we have a UK housing shortage. Why is it so…

So here I am, Joyce at 80+…

...also known as Grandma Williams. I've travelled the world, written books, been a Physio & TV Presenter. Now I'm 80+ and I'm blogging about the fun and nonsense of being ancient in a modern world and experiencing everyday ageism in all its glory!
