    Sportscars – nah, not anymore.
    Fancy bike – nope, barely glance at them now.
    Designer clothes – not since my early 20s

    But!… my neighbour has just had all his ridge tiles re-done – and they look very neat indeed. Couldn’t help wishing mine were in such good order!

    Have you moved to either an industrial estate or adopted a ‘traveller’ lifestyle?

    Being able to get out of a chair without involuntarily making a noise like a slightly distressed cow.

    Sleep – although not sure that is due to age as much as it is due to having children.

    Spare time, in which I may choose to do sweet FA if I so desire…..

    A sports car…

    A garage for said sports car and bikes with a well appointed man cave section in which to waste my spare time

    Comfy shoes.

    I took the dogs for a walk in the woods over the road a few days back – down to and along the river, up the steps and along the top by the golf course. There’s a bench at a good viewpoint where you can see for miles. I surprised two kids having a snog. They looked embarrassed and I just felt old. I’ve never felt older. Three times their age- old, old, old…

    This. I don’t really get excited about motorised vehicles, but a Unimog with the massive camper body on the back, and a Delorean* would be good.

    *I know they’re rubbish. Don’t care.

    A big old drawing table, they come up on ebay quite a bit, it’s just having the space to use one.

    Been toying with the idea of chopping in the van, (oldish Peugeot Expert) and car (newish Seat Leon) and buying an even older van with more seats (Berlingo) and Porsche 911.

    Get something like that for well under £15k
