They do so change as they get older. One who used to mutter horrible things to me under his breath is now amazingly positive towards me. Sometimes so positive that I point out some of my imperfections as a parent and grandparent. He also reckons me one of the happiest people he knows - for me both a huge tonic and a reminder to make the best of things!! ??
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
