Ageing gracefully

Bless your heart, Sheila Hancock. I gratefully look forward to your essays each month. This one (“She has had a fall,” June) was particularly excellent. I no longer stand on the edge of my tub to clean the glass fixture above my sink; it seemed safer to let the glass collect dust. From way across the pond in San Francisco, thank you for confirming that being older is a blessing—most of the time. Linda Chiarucci, via the website
