What age would you like to live to?’</em> George asked me not long after we’d started dating. ‘<em>I’ve never thought about it</em>‘ I lied (most people had that playground conversation that began ‘<em>How old do you want to be when you die?</em>‘ didn’t they?). Not as delicately worded by children but the same philisophical question. Had my beloved asked me before informing me of his intention I might have said ”o<em>h, about 85 would be a good running</em>‘ as I didn’t know anyone much older than that 15 years ago. As it was I said something like ‘<em>it would be mean to leave you on your own so I guess I’ll just have to hang in there with you’. </em>It marked the start of a life together where we lovingly challenge each others assumptions and don’t take our health for granted.</p> <p>Today is the start of my 35th year and I predict it will be my best year yet. Birthdays are a low key affair in our <a title="house" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/house/">house</a> and we don’t really do parties. I think I could make an exception for my 100th though! I wonder who’ll be there? <a href="http://nipitinthebud.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/nic-watering-the-fence-july-771.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2740" title="Nic watering the fence July 77" src="http://nipitinthebud.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/nic-watering-the-fence-july-771.jpg?w=455&h=616" alt="" width="455" height="616" /></a></p> <p>I don’t know if my red watering can was a 2nd <a title="birthday" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/birthday/">birthday</a> gift but my love of <a title="gardening" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/gardening/">gardening</a> obviously started at a young age.
