Summary

Although in his seventies, Christopher Matthew is convinced he is not yet old. No one has ever stood up for him on a crowded bus or tube. He plays golf and walks the dog. He has all his own teeth, hair, and does not require a hearing aid. He is, in short, enjoying late middle age and is making the best of it while he still can. In this book, Matthew discusses subjects such as: what's the point of a grandparent; the perils and pleasures of replacing one's partner with a younger model; and acquiring new interests and hobbies; to the arrival of old age and the last leg of all.
