Joining in with Susannah Conway's 'August Break' project this month, posting a photograph every day in August, following a list of prompts.
Today's prompt is 'real life'.
In real life I am 51.
In my head I am 35.
I remember a conversation I had with my mum a few years back; the gist being that I didn't want to 'turn out' in a particular way. 'Oh for God's sake' she exclaimed with asperity, 'You're a grown woman, how much more turning out are you expecting to do?' (Mum is a highland woman who doesn't mince her words.) She did have a point. I guess in real life we do reach an age that we more or less stay internally for ever, though always of course with room for improvement and the ripening of character.
