There are several advantages of increasing age, two of which, knowing when and to whom, is to lie. That’s deliberate and usually best if a result of wisdom and experience.

However the unexplainable inability to distinguish between the candles on the cake and one’s collar size is, I’m frequently told, rather silly. That’s when the first advantage comes into its own. Hence the reply: ‘Yes, I know that dear, I was only joking’. Waiting for the expected look of mocking scorn is priceless. And funny when she realises she’s been had.

Now in my trombone years, I have acquired the wisdom to seek continued marital harmony with a visit to Zara. Never fails, although her memory is better than mine and she remembers every . single . one . of our early years so comparisons are frequent and she now needs a new wardrobe.

With the other advantage of age, experience, comes the knowledge there are now precious few years left to fully experience every virtue, and I do.

I’ve been very careful to gently discourage her from taking driving lessons. Sadly and regrettably that means I simply have to drive my 75 even more times than I otherwise would have. Well, somebody has to.

Bought my 1st Rover Connie V6 in 2010 @ 47, 2nd MGZT CDTi in 2014 @ 52 and sold them both this year to buy my 3rd a Rover Tourer CDTi at 56.

Must be a love thing!

I was 37 when my parents bought their first Rover 213.
38 when they swapped for a 214Gsi I inherited of 7 years later, being 45.
I was 62 when I bought a 25 to replace the 214Gsi broken by my not so better half in that occasion...
And 64 when at last I decided it was time to become a bit wealthier & bought my 75 V6 2.5 Cowley built. Mind that in France 75 aren't so cheap. And I never even saw only one ZT here!

A rather long maturation as you may judge...!
