Olive And Pru

My photo
Polly
Hello and welcome to my site, I hope you find something of interest. I live in Essex, UK, proud mum to two lovely daughters and grandmother to a smashing grandson. Since retirement I enjoy the freedom to do all the things I enjoy or nothing at all!

About My Blog

Despite the two names of my blog I am just one person. I dislike all the terms used to describe people over 60 - Old Age Pensioners, Senior Citizens, SWELS (Seniors With Energetic Lifestyles) is marginally better, so I created Olive And Pru as my preferred alternative.
