Summer Holiday

[poliphilo]

We've booked a holiday. We're going by coach to Northern Spain to look at the Picassos.

Then the brochure arrived. All the people in all the publicity shots are grey. There's not a single, young, fit, happening twenty-year old. Everyone- but everyone- is over 50.

Young people do not travel by coach to Northern Spain to look at the Picassos.

I should have guessed as much. But I didn't. My very ignorance betrays how out of touch I am.

We have booked ourselves onto a package holiday for senior citizens.

(Long pause for reflection.)

Oh...........

Aw, there have to be some younger folks there too! I wouldn't worry about it...You're 4 years younger than my dad, and I never think of him as being old. It's just a state of mind, I guess. Either way, I'm sure it would be wonderful to see the Picasso's up close and in person :)

Thanks Jess,

We're going to the Salvador Dali museum too.

And we'll be staying in a fishing village.

Yay!

Oh, what wonders on this itinerary! I want to be a senior citizen, too!

I think they let younger people on the coach. It's just that the advertising seems to be aimed exclusively at us grey panthers.

I would so go with you guys. It sounds like such a fantastic trip to take, so beautiful and inspiring. And by coach, no less! That is my cup of tea. And crumpets!

I hope you take a lot of pictures and have a blast!
