In recent weeks I’ve tackled the zip wire experience at Killiecrankie and also become a fledgling motor biker.
These events could be classed as the onset of a mid-life crisis but I prefer to think of them as exploring new horizons.
Maybe late developers of the world should unite to form our own club.
I resist any temptation to put folk in pigeon holes by virtue of the number of years under their belt.
But recently I’ve seen it suggested that a generation war is looming by some aggrieved younger folk who think the current generation (referred to as baby boomers) have enjoyed the kind of life of ease which royalty might live, while things get ever tougher for them.
