WHO SAYS LIFE DOES NOT BEGIN AT 60. I WAS MADE REDUNDANT AT 55/56 AND I THOUGHT MY LIFE HAD ENDED. I FELT OLD, ALONE, USELESS. 4 YEARS ON AGE DOES NOT MATTER - I'M YOUNG, STRONG, AND READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD. I BECAME INVOLVED IN A LOCAL CHARITY GROUP, MET SOME WONDERFUL PEOPLE, TOOK UP PAINTING AGAIN. SO I AM CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN IN AUGUST FOR MY LOCAL AUTISM SUPPORT GROUP AND I PLAN ON HAVING AN ART EXHIBITION BEFORE I'M 65 IF I STILL HAVE ENOUGH PAINTINGS TO HAND - AT THE MOMENT THEY ARE BEING BOUGHT UP AS I PAINT THEM - YES LIFE DOES BEGIN AGAIN AFTER REDUNDANCY.
