It matters not what the subject, be it religion, education, employment, racism or anything else. My own opinions are based upon my own life and the family values that have been fundamental in my upbringing. It doesn't make me right and others mistaken because they disagree with my slant on the world.<br />The wisdom of my father has encouraged me to remain true to my beliefs, be an individual and live my life to the full, yet recognize right and wrong and do my utmost to stay within the laws that govern civilized society. I would like to think that, for the most part, Dad would be happy with the way I've turned out. As you well know, I haven't always been an angel and there will have occasions when my parents despaired about the antics I got up to. Time is a great leveller and, just like mine, I'm sure your parents are happy with the way you've turned out? So, as I see it, there are no problems? - Dyl<br /><br />Dylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-74064695450675642512018-08-01T16:26:05.680+01:002018-08-01T16:26:05.680+01:00I could elaborate Dyl, but in light of your positi...I could elaborate Dyl, but in light of your positive views towards education and employment, I cannot without permission. I am but a mere guest in your house. <br /><br />I can safely say that though I appear to be conventional, I'm far from it.

It's no joke getting old, but certainly more to my liking than the alternative scenario. All the while I am able, I will continue to interact with the natural world and chase my dreams with rod, camera or binoculars. I said to one of my supervisors, just recently, "if I wake up one morning and don't ache I'll know I'm dead!" From my way of thinking it's all about enjoyment of the things that I can do, not moaning about the things that are now beyond my capabilities. Yes, of course I enjoyed playing football and, even, running(?) the London Marathon - I certainly harbour no desires to be able to do such things in 2018 and beyond; memories of my past and destined to remain as such - DylDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-69111727159955900552018-07-29T23:28:52.700+01:002018-07-29T23:28:52.700+01:00Where there's a will there's a way!

I think the secret is to lower your expectations and concentrate on the enjoyment of your involvement with our natural world.

I'm not too sure how I'll cope with retirement - not very well is my gut feel.

Basically just a matter of ignoring it as best as I can, like the arthritis in my feet.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-81158267897082470012018-07-29T18:14:43.187+01:002018-07-29T18:14:43.187+01:00I'm going through the same!

I have just changed and adapted to an "old gits" way of fishing, and thank god still having fun with fishing and nature.Philmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505497015334370371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-74416583652251445472018-07-28T20:18:04.140+01:002018-07-28T20:18:04.140+01:00I'd have been gone months ago Dyl.
