I loved this story which resonated deeply with me. It was so nice to see you were in my current home town. I'm actually through and out the other side of menopause for which I'm grateful but of course there's always a new set of challenges. A consistent practice of keeping strong, and flexible in mind and body has what as helped me through.

This is your best so far! You write so well. You have amazing parents. I’m lucky to spend time with your Dad twice a week at boxing and we’ve witnessed the mental toll on him of late. Yet he always has a great sense of humour and tries out those hilarious physical challenges on us too!! I’m aware that you and I are around the same age and my Dad is definitely not as able and well as yours. I’m determined to keep moving and at this time of my life, try to defy the odds and charge through this peri-menopausal period head on. X Emily
