Broadcaster Eve Pollard on how she and a whole generation are reinventing life after 60

Eve Pollard
I'll Be Dancing On The Tables!

What can I tell  you? I never,  ever feel my  age. There are many  days when I feel 27.  Very dangerous!

Carefully harvested money, saved to pay for my old age, my funeral, raised flowerbeds in the garden – they’ve already been raised once – or the rare gigolo if I am widowed, can be squandered in a twinkling. On new clothes, ridiculously plunging bras, or ultra-trendy restaurants with only high tables where someone with a better back than mine can perch for hours on minimalistic stools made of iron.

Then again, there are many days when I feel 110. Also very dangerous.
