Itchy feet

an aging singleton asks

At what point are you too old for going traveling . It is just I remember the old folk at some of the places I stopped at when I was younger and there was always at least one strange old person?

    “At least one strange old person”. Did you note how many normal old people there were. This may be a sampling bias.
    And I don’t think your old yet either. I mean, I have far more grey hairs that you, and I don’t consider myself old.

    I heard Brian Blessed speak (loudly) on such matters recently. He suggested that middle age doesn’t start until 55 or so, that you are never too old and that one should “Go for it!”

    OK, let us put it the other way round. Is everyone else doing the travelling lark so young they are going to annoy? I may be accused of being a been there seen it done it type to a certain extent when compared to most folk and after recent travels with my dog I did find myself wishing to tell folk to stop talking about stuff and start doing it instead. Or maybe that is just me being a grumpy young man

    Perhaps we could start a new blog for examining personal woes. Let’s stick to common sense here. You don’t even have a dog.

    that would create another site which could be ignored. Maybe the way in which questions are asked should be addressed rather than the content

    I was unaware that Hawfinches could write, let alone dodos.
