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…

Retirement? Who Am I? When I Am Not…..?
Let's Challenge Unthinking Ageism

Retirement? Who Am I? When I Am Not…..?

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‘.

At 81, Discovered Being Ancient is Great!

Yet the essential you is just the same, the one who lived through being six, sixteen and sixty to reach a serene seventy plus.
