This is Oma (Grandma) in the Stadtpark in the beautiful city of Hamburg.

She says “the best years were my thirties”,

My reply “unfortunately mine are all but gone!”

“You’ve still got your forties to come!”

That’s all very well but if the thirties were the best years, where do we go from here? They say the old thirties are the new fifties. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

P.S. she’ll be ninety-three this year so she ought to know (she’ll kill me if she reads this).
