My first anthology of poems, 'Fifty Shades of Beige' was a wry and affectionate look at retirement. As I approach my three score years and ten in May 2024 this second collection looks back through my life from childhood to retirement. For those who have gone from sherbet to sherry, British Bulldogs to Bridge Club, the Rolling Stones to... well, the Rolling Stones, 'Seventy Shades of Age' will evoke many memories and, hopefully, amuse.
