What is or was your natural hair colour? When I was a little girl I used to have blonde hair but as I got older it turned about darker and appeared to be more of a mousy colour, before it eventually started having grey streaks in it. I now have my hair highlighted not only to cover the grey hair but also because it makes me feel a little better about myself and I am sure it also makes me look younger.Are most ladies as vane a myself?

How far from the coast do you live? I probably live about thirty miles away from the coat and the nearest to us is probably Lytham St Annes although there is not much difference between there and Southport. my husband keeps saying we ought to consider living out the rest of our lives near the sea side but I would really miss living so close to all our family. This may be a consideration in a few years time because the sea side has always appealed to me and it would be lovely to walk along the sea edge each evening.
