Remember when..

18 yr old Catherine (below) would often tell her parents she would never join the ‘When We’ club. That was their pet name for the recollections some people often have. . .usually beginning “Do you remember when (we) ****” – or when bragging rights appear “well, when we did this that or the other” which usually was much better than anyone else taking part in the conversation.

Then she met The Golfer who even as a young man was a master member of the club – at that time his ‘questioning’ was usually when surrounded by other servicemen he’d served with – about different places and events relevant to them all. In later years it is still about the same things….service personnel never lose their memories of familiar connections that bind them to each other.

These days his ‘remember when’s’ have also become memory joggers – if he can’t quite place a time or event – hopefully Catherine can😊

In the mean time Catherine…who stood by her word and still won’t start a conversation with those words ….has been noticing recently all those young ones who visit the bay early in the morning are fit and healthy.

It’s not uncommon to see them (singly or in a group) facing east, looking out at the ocean, practicing their Salute to the Sun plus various other poses right there on the sands.

And in her mind, silently, she has been ‘remembering when’

When it was all so easy….

Yes, there are other ways to achieve the same benefit but…..

Here’s a short standing version…
