Back On The Case

I wrote the piece below in 2007 whilst living in Brussels and having the bright idea of setting up a website which looked for the best design for people getting older/old. It was a good idea but, like many I have had, I didn't follow it through - I'm not good at doing projects alone and though I contacted a then friend who ran a design company and he loved the idea, the 'children' who worked for him saw anyone over the age of 40 as at the very least, boring and designing stuff for 'really' old people as boring/appalling/unimaginable....

Before I start, I would just like to make it clear that we are very lucky people to be able to have a holiday on a very lovely Greek island.

The Best Beloved took on the daunting (in my view) role of being an independent visitor to someone in care. He was ‘given’ a Vietnamese 'boy', I can’t quite remember but I think he was 14. He was lucky in that he had got fostered by a lovely couple. The role of an independent visitor is to be an adult outside the home/fostering system to provide an outlet for the young person....

We are selling our house. The idea is to move from the countryside into the giddy bright lights of Petersfield. It will be a wrench but it will, hopefully, give the Best Beloved a new lease on life, you can’t use a mobility vehicle across muddy fields. Anyway, we have had to make the house viewer-friendly instead of presenting an eclectic choice of furniture and general stuff - gone are the two vintage French fire buckets, and the (reproduction) Greek n**e statue, the old (again) French wooden cockerel with a bit of a missing beak, the usual chair with half-finished upholstery that I am working on....
