The "Golden Oldies"

..... is the title we give to our small group of ex colleagues who retired in the area well before we retired. The son and daughter-in-law of 2 of them came to see where his father's ashes had been scattered, without his Mum who now lives in GB. We showed them the place at the foot of this valley of Solalex (pretty grim weather).

They joined us for what turned into an "interesting" Golden Oldies party. It all got a bit stressful with one couple (85ish) not recognizing the house and driving all the way back up the mountain to their home. Their mobile phone had been left at home. Meanwhile as they were not answering their home phone either, David drove up to see if they were OK. He picked them up and 5 minutes later had a puncture so two more ex colleagues got involved to taxi people and take the wheel to 2 different garages. By the time everyone was assembled around the table it was 14:30 instead of 12:30 However everyone enjoyed themselves and will definitely not forget today's "Golden Oldies" lunch!
