working and enjoying life into old age

Being old does not mean being imobile unless your health is in a very serious state.   This precious lady and gentleman are 86 and 92 years of age and they never appear to stop nor to stop enjoying life and seeing the funny side.  They are an inspiration to us all.
Fauja Singh was 100 years old when he ran the London Marathon last year and he didn't even take up running marathons until he was 89.
John Dreelin ran with the bulls in Pamplona this year, he's 77 years old - why?  because all his life he had longed to have a go but knew how much his family would disapprove:  now he thinks he's old enough to please himself!
Roger Allsop swam the English channel at 70 years old.
Fred Mack was 100 when he jumped out of an aeroplane and successfully and safely landed.
Sherman Bull climbed Mount Everest on May 25th 2001 aged 64 years.
Just a tiny portion of the people I have read about lately and admired  - DON'T STOP 'TIL YOU DROP.

Spanish gardener

I am struggling to tidy up the pots in my garden to prepare for winter bulb planting but it is a difficult job in the bad weather.  I am thankful that I do not have a Spanish garden like this one we saw in Cordoba or I would never get to the end of it.  There is always a lot of hard work before a beautiful display but it's worth it.
