I have had to face up to an unwelcome truth today. As much as I try to avoid it with the copious amounts of anti wrinkle cream and the fashionable clothes and the vaguely youthful music, I am getting old.
This morning I noticed a grey hair, and it wasn't on my head.
The musings of a now empty nester as myself and fellow blogger husband Mr Adventuresinreality try and spend the kids inheritance one city break at a time...

About Me
- auntiegwen
- When I started this blog in 2007 I was a single parent with 3 children aged 14, 11 and 10. Now in 2016, every one of those children has grown up and left home. I now live with my lovely best friend, my second and last husband and fellow blogger Mr Adventures in Reality and part of the time with the boy wonder, the one he made earlier. We try and outwit the offspring, do the house up and travel as much as we can.

Oh go on with you!! Old is a state of mind, not body. Here's a hug if you need one though. (()) Flick x
I'm the same age, I hate it, feel as though life has passed me by now.
I feel the need to go out and be wild again...of course inside I'm still that art student with a mini skirt, doc martens and blue hair.
So was the 'discovery' like that 'sun-lounger' scene from SATC? xx
Oh sweetie we're so not old! Here's what I know and always tell my friend when she grumbles about being old. I'm damn sure not old which means you're not since I'm older than you! Smile girl...life has just begun!
Well done you on the five miler - what a gaol to achieve. Listen age is all relative - I spent my thirties wishing I wasn't thirty, my forfties wishing the same and then I realised that I'm still young at fifty because being a hundred is old.
Welcome to my world! :) TFX
I'll be 42 next month. But I swear turning 40 and the entire year after it were SO HARD ON ME! Hang in there sweetie, this will pass and you'll truly enjoy being in your 40's.
I feel the same way, going to be 45 in July. But hey, you ran 5 miles. That is very impressive, shin splints be gone.
XOXO
Been there.... and as Samantha says in SATC, "I can't pluck it 'cos 6 more will come to its funeral!!!!"
