But don't let that spoil the wonder that is Autumn. Not as good as Spring I'll grant you, but the next best thing. A season of stunning beauty and a chance to catch up with reading, reflection and good stodgy food. Having just turned 50, I think my wisdom has regressed. I'm sure I was a lot more grown up at 20.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708518049468373822.post-55344665231167455312012-10-13T04:39:54.462+01:002012-10-13T04:39:54.462+01:00Wow, sounds like your school mates were a nasty ga...Wow, sounds like your school mates were a nasty gang!

Sometimes you just have to say "that was then, I am not there any more". As someone who inherited her yelling at the television from her own departed dad who spent his life instilling in me the importance of perfection when I most certainly was NOT I learned that with age comes a degree of distance from your antagonist and you can start to see where they are coming from. Doesn't make it any better but you can start to focus on your own life and let them choose their own path. Congrats on your birthday by the way. I choose to see them as milestones...I made it another year! Stuff the rest of the world, it's time for the Viking to do what Vikings do best and take the world on at it's own game (raping, pillaging and plundering are all optional ;)).
