To be honest I'd be disappointed if there wasn't a lot to reflect on after 50 years. I have my memories but I try not to dwell on them, I plan for the future but I try not to get ahead of myself. If there's one thing the last year has taught me it's to enjoy today as much as possible.

This is so important and a great lesson for life and far better than the one I may have passed on to my children - ‘No way is my obituary saying - I died cooking Bolognese’ Let me explain, 5 years ago things changed for me...
