And it's true! So what is it that begins at eighty?
Not only is this the one hundredth post, today is also the first of a brand new year. And this year is the centenary of a very significant event: the start of the Great War.
As I have mentioned before, when I was studying history, 1914 was the end. It was as if, in that middle part of the century, no-one had come to terms with that war, or its aftermath, let alone the facts of a second war of even greater size.
And if life begins at forty, then 2014 is the start of my third age.
So what is new?
Well, this blog for a start. It is a new challenge. I am still learning about the program that enables me to communicate with you each day. And mastery will take a few months yet. Your suggestions are welcome; just accept the challenge of learning how to post a comment!And as you have read I have started to learn to sketch. There is so much to learn! The range of media and equipment available for a start; the variety of styles and the limitations of a beginner's skills!
Even more fun is having a new baby in the family. What makes Sophie unique is that she is the first child of a daughter, and that is different from getting to know the children of a son.
2014 is going to be a great year!
