Things we've never done before - what next?

So after a week of laying in the sunshine in Gran Canaria and reading historical novels (never knew before there was a Prince Arthur who married Catherine of Aragon before Henry VIII), and doing Christmas (major laughs doing silly games thanks to the BBC etc who put nothing worth watching on tele); today was time for ironing and listening to wonderful BBC Radio 4 again.  If you get a chance to listen to 'You and Yours' (12 noon on 26th December) on the iPlayer, I hope you're as inspired as I was with the programme that was basically about keeping learning and doing new things as you get older.  I'm looking forward to keeping on 'reading stuff so I have interesting things to say and write' (as does Max Hastings), and to learning the 'cello (but not being asked to play it on the radio, as Robert Winston and his saxophone).

Hope the Christmas holiday has brought a glimmer of peace, happiness and reflection to your life too.
