At 80+ Narrowing Horizons? Or Change of Focus?
Later years? Happy Years!

At 80+ Narrowing Horizons? Or Change of Focus?

One of the many delightful surprises in this Strange Land of Old Age, has been this calm acceptance, this adjustment to later life. The change in the focus of pleasures that one cannot imagine at all when you are younger.

Delighting in My Last Spring?

I have had Thirteen Extra Springs to wonder at. Absolute free and delightful gift.
How lucky we are, this new generation of Older People. We have been given bonus Springs!

Getting the Buzz at 80+. Not a Minister for Loneliness. Let’s have one for Excitement!
Later years? Happy Years!

Getting the Buzz at 80+. Not a Minister for Loneliness. Let’s have one for Excitement!

Adrenaline: challenge, activity, people and shared fun….the best antidote to depression, the pick me up, the buzz in life at any age.

Fitness at 83? Can you lift a 12 stone weight?
Ageing Well, But The Odd Problem?

Fitness at 83? Can you lift a 12 stone weight?

Retired?  Think Again.  But Who are You now?
Let's Challenge Unthinking Ageism

Retired? Think Again. But Who are You now?

Retired’ is not an occupation, but there it is, on the form, at the bottom of the list.

Or maybe, even worse, you are expected to tick ‘None‘. But that isn’t true, is it? We haven’t stopped.

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!
