It just makes the road longer, and tougher. Easy for me to say, I suppose. Great posts! I don't know how to "like" them but I do love them all!<br />Swennyandcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11669971689780992034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-3234222511655280002017-05-15T21:01:25.410+01:002017-05-15T21:01:25.410+01:00It's a constant battle and so many don't e...It's a constant battle and so many don't even recognise they are in the battle or if they do not outwardly. A week of effort and the inevitable slide back to normal with the justification 'well I like it and I didn't drink that week so it proves I'm ok' sigh. It's like all this dry January rubbish, like one month of not drinking makes up for 11 of ridiculous excess. Not that my husband would do a dry January, he doesn't need to apparently.AGuidingLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823333742737762759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-44768744544576629042017-05-14T20:59:40.152+01:002017-05-14T20:59:40.152+01:00I am part of the one in ten to which you refer and...I am part of the one in ten to which you refer and grateful everyday. Thank you for your candor. The baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964, so not all of us have reached our sixties quite yet, but I await that decade heartily as by that point, I'd have outlived my parents.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-1179482341483925952017-05-10T18:11:40.105+01:002017-05-10T18:11:40.105+01:00Very true.

We do have friends who visit pub 3 times each weekend. I show huge restraint by saying no we won't join them except a couple of times a month. The money alone! Still it's difficult to know whether I'm being too abstaining when you hear news of one glass a day is good for this that or the other.

After all, you know much more about this issue than most people do.<br /><br />However, as I sit in a sun-bathed front room looking up to a sapphire blue sky, I must say I have issues with the term "grey Blighty". It's the kind of term that escapees to the Spanish costas use to denigrate their homeland. We have variable weather here and it makes living in England interesting to say the least. Even in the midst of wintertime we can have lovely clear blue days. You never know what you are going to get.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
