It's all about the numbers ...



After the comments of the last few days I thought it might be interesting to find out the ages of my readers, especially the lovely ones who comment most days.

We seem to be on the same wavelength in lots of things.  I know that's usually the case when you find a blog that you like to read, but what I write about me really seems to be resonating with so many of you a lot of the time.

So I thought it was time for a little survey.

Lets start with me:

Here goes ...




I am 58 ... so yes, an experienced idiot  😉 



In almost exactly one month I will be 59.

So I am born under the star sign of Aries, and from what I read I fit the bill perfectly.



Using the Chinese calendar as well I am an Aries Rat ... and I seem to fit that bill too!

Writing that always reminds me of a great guy called John that I met on Yahoo Personals.  His bio was worded ' Pisces Monkey seeks Aries Rat'.  I responded ... well you would wouldn't you!! 

 I met him wearing all black, he was also wearing all black. it broke the ice and got us chatting.  The first date we got on like a house on fire, he told me all about the astrological calendar and the Chinese horoscopes and years.  The second date was not so good ... he told me all about the astrological calendar and the Chinese horoscopes and years.  

There was no third date!!




I am one year younger than Alan, my husband.

I was almost 5 years younger than my ex husband.

The biggest age gap I have had in a relationship was 17 years, the smallest was 6 months younger than me ... I ended it when the 'toyboy' jokes from him got too much!



Yes, I agree with this entirely.

You are as young as you feel.



And so, in my opinion, you really should live your life and forget your age.  




So ... how old are you?

What is your star sign?

Do you believe in star signs ... I marvel at the accuracy sometimes but I take it all with a pinch of salt.

What is the gap between you and your beloved?


But remember ...


... you don't have to tell .

  1. I am Aries too and in less than a month I will be 64. I was born on a Saturday - working hard for a living.

    Col was two years younger than me and my first husband was just one month older. I don't like old men!

    Chinese horoscope is a goat - that's OK - I've kept goats - They are individual and useful creatures.

    1. I was born on a Tuesday 'full of grace' .... supposedly!! Although I pranced around like a ballerina when I was small I had the grace of a hippo in hobnail boots!! Oh how I wanted to be a Monday's child and be 'fair of face'

  2. I'm not a regular commenter, only just signed up to do that very recently but have followed you for a while now so hope that's ok to tell you about me, at least answer your questions today? 62, like to think I'm younger, definitely feel younger in my head. Gemini, but don't take notice of horoscopes or astrological things. Hubby 5 years older. Yes lots of your thoughts and writings resonate. Thank yo

    2. Yo dude ... you is down with the kids!!

      I think we all feel younger than we are. I suddenly cottoned onto the realisation that what you feel like in your head doesn't always match with the age you are on the outside when I reached my late thirties .... it was a shock.

  3. I don't mind saying at all.
    I am 51 and a Scorpio.
    My husband is 17 years older than me, he is very young looking for his age, we have never cared what people think about the age gap.

  5. This is my first time commenting, but I really enjoy reading your blog. My name is Joan, I'm from Dublin, Ireland and I'm 62 ........will be 63 next month. I'm Aries, and my Chinese horoscope is a monkey but I've no idea what that means. My husband is six years older than me, so he'll be 70 next year!

    2. I've always been happy in the company of people older than me - brought up as an only child of a single parent in the 70s, I spent a lot of time with adults and was very bookish. However, even at 49 I still get taken for my late 30s occasionally - I'm really not sure why though!

  8. I'm 59, husband 68 - the age gap doesn't bother us, never has. Married when I was 23 and he was 32 and been happy together ever since. He's my soulmate. I'm a Scorpio, he's Capricorn, but I don't take much notice of the star sign stuff. People are often surprised to learn husband's age, he doesn't really look it - but men don't, do they?! My biological age doesn't match the age I am in my head and heart....I still think I'm 39 and have been ever since I was...well, 39!

    1. I was married three days after my 18th birthday to my first husband and we were divorced after 26 years of marriage. I have been married to Alan, who is also a Capricorn for 11 years and together for 14 now. Weirdly my first husband was also a Capricorn ... and all Alan's 3 wives have been Aries.

  11. I was 54 last month, my husband was 57 earlier this month. We've been together since we were 16 and 19, and married 3 years later. We're both Pisceans. I've no idea about my Chinese year of birth.
    Age means absolutely nothing to me. I look and feel much better than I did in most of my 20s, and all of my 30s and 40s, and I'm making up for lost time!

  15. About to be 67 and I'm an Aries too ( a very typical one - for starters I don't suffer fools gladly - in fact, I don't suffer them at all! I expect you are familiar with that trait!) In the Chinese calendar of things I am a dragon, and so is my husband, which isn't meant to be a perfect relationship but we have weathered 35 years together, so can't rub along too badly. He's nearly 12 years older than me.

Well here goes, 57, Aquarian and a water tiger, like you I married early to husband mark I, he was a Capricorn, hubby Mark II, is 6 years younger, (I also don't like older men), he is an Aries, we have been together 22 years and married 19 years in June.

I am a Leo and Ken was Sagittarius, we were both very easy going , got along wonderfully. People couldn't believe I was with such an older man. To make things harder I looked 15, neighbours at the beginning didn't know if I was on of the kids or the parent. We had 20 wonderful yrs together before a Heart attack took him . Have been alone since 87 and have no regrets, I like you want a trailer(caravan) I envy you getting one. Good luck and enjoy it.

  30. Hi Sue, I’ve enjoyed your blogs for years but rarely commented - I was so pleased to see you back after your New Life in the Country blog stopped. I’m 64 (and had the Beatles song sung to me way too many times on my birthday!). My husband is 15 months younger than me, so at certain times of the year he is “2 years” younger than me. That joke never seems to wear thin for him, haha! He is a Cancerian monkey, and I am a Sagittarian horse.

    1. Alan was in the RN for 24 years, mostly during his first marriage. Although it would have suited us two, it was hard for his first wife raising the children pretty much alone and that I suspect was partly why their marriage failed. You have to be of the right mindset and right type of person to be able to cope, and like you say be happy with your own company.

  46. Hi Sue. I have read your blog for a long time and have so much (and still am) thoroughly enjoying it. I love your writings and your thoughts on things. I really enjoyed your post on 'Solitude'. I love solitude, but if I didn't have to go to work, I don't think I would want to go anywhere at all. I would be quite happy living in the middle of nowhere (with my husband and animals of course). Anyway, I am 56 years old in May and a Gemini. Sometimes I think that suits me, but to be honest I don't really believe in the horoscope thing. I have been married for 33 years and my husband is 18 months younger than me. Sometimes in my head I still feel about 21 and then I remind myself I have a 31 year old son - where did all those years go??!! Really enjoying your 'Simple Life' blog - thanks.

    1. Lovely comment, thanks.

      Yes I know what you mean. When I mention my eldest son's age I sometimes think 'wait ... how can I possibly have a son that is only six years younger than me'!! Yes, in my head I will be forever 44 :-)

  48. Hi Sue, sorry late to the party - again!!

    I am 55, will be 56 in September, apparently a Rabbit in Chinese. Libra by birth date, but very strong Virgo tendencies at times, I think primarily as my father is definite Virgo.
    Second husband is 4 and half years older than me, and Aries, first was 4 years and Sagittarius.

    We have very 'alternative' lifestyle - sold our house, bought motorhome in 2011 initially to travel for 2 years but have never gone back to regular life. Still living mainly from our motorhome, we work on campsites in the summer, and sometimes a bit of temporary work in the autumn/winter but mainly like to be in warmer climes in the winter months. Both have absolute love of travel, and love the freedom our life gives us. (Not sure I have ever declared this before on a public forum!)

    Like you Sue, our life is generally very simple but so rewarding.

    1. Yes, I've picked up a lot about your 'alternative lifestyle' on your comments on my various blogs over the years. I'm totally jealous, the level of freedom it gives you and being together is wonderful 🙂

  50. Loving this post, Sue (even if I am a day late reading it). I'm 55 (just had to work that out with a calculator - that's sad!) and Gemini. I've just read the typical traits of a Gemini - I think I was born under the wrong star sign because they are pretty much opposite to me! My husband is Aquarius but that doesn't seem to describe him very well either - so perhaps we are well matched oddities! I have loved reading your blogs but mostly as a woodworm �� So inspired by your new, simple life. Helen x

      I was 38 for two years back in the day, so you're not the only one that loses track of time.

  51. I answered a few of your questions already on your next post but I will answer them again.

    I am 63 and Harvey and I have been married 43 years. There is exactly 5 years 5 months and 5 days between us. Harvey is the older.

    I am a Capricorn through and through.

    God bless.

  52. Another Aries over here! I'm 47 and my husband is a couple of years older. Together for 17 years and married for nearly 14. I'm used to being an older mother in the primary school playground and a older blogger among the money bloggers, but looks like I'm on the younger side of your readers.

  53. I am 62 years old, born on a Sunday .. a Virgo Monkey but don't have a clue as to what traits those are supposed to indicate. My husband of 41 years is 9 months older than me. We married the day after my 21st birthday. Planning retirement this year .. YEEHAW .. time to party with the grandbabies before they notice the sun doesn't shine from my backside. Enjoy your blogs! .. but rather chicken to comment.

  54. Hi, Only getting caught up on posts now. I will be 53 in May- so a Taurus horse. Jeff squared is 45 tomorrow- an Aries Tiger. We have been together since 2000, married in 2010.we have both been married before. First husband is referred to as Jeff to the 1st. I was 18 when I married him(1984). I am Canadian. I always joke with hubby that he is my retirement plan- he will still be working to keep me in the manner to which I am accustomed, lol

  55. Hi Sue,
    I am 48 on the outside, and about 18 on the inside and a Sagittarius woman. My husband is almost 11 months older than me and a Pisces.
    I have been drawn to the smaller simpler life for a long time, and am just starting on a journey of discovering who I really am rather than what society has shaped me to be. Its exciting and scary at the same time, my husband is on the journey with me too and I wouldn't want it any other way. Su x
