While in Norfolk at the weekend, Paul took us on a lovely long walk in the sunshine to www.wivetonhall.co.uk/ where we all had cream teas and Kerry and Ella did some strawberry picking.
On the way back, we met an old couple coming towards us. As we like to be sociable, we all said 'Morning' and stopped for a chat.
Now they both looked pretty old. I would have said late 80's, early 90's, but it turned out he was 100 (16weeks +) and she was 97!!
So, what was their secret?
Well, they were both lifetime members of The National Trust and she said she had certainly got her money worth over the years. She was very keen for us all to become members and said a number of times how great membership is for a family. Lifetime membership for a couple is currently £1,585.
She was a lovely lady and very chatty, so I would say that being happy must be a pre-requisite for ageing well.
They obviously did / do a lot of walking in the fresh air and if they live near Blakeney then a lot of the walking will be taling in the sea air as well.
You could tell from looking at both of them, that they looked after themselves. They were both well dressed and had obviously made an effort before they left the house.
What was also obvious from looking at them however, was that they had Money!
