PARKED up next to a swanky health club the other day — no, I wasn’t visiting the gym, just half-inching a bit of free parking space — and I could not help noticing that every other car arriving was a posh, brand new number.

BACK in the day we used to listen to a radio program called Down Your Way which visited towns and villages all over the United Kingdom, speaking to locals and playing their choice of music.

VETERAN Yorkshire racehorse trainer and farmer Mick Easterby, who is well into his 80s, has a great way of dealing with old age. “Never sell your boots,” is his homespun philosophy. In other words, never give up. Keep on keeping on. Stay interested in life.
