It's official - garden and live long

[Snoop Puss]

BBC - Capital - Gardening could be the hobby that helps you live to 100

Oh Dear, I'll have to find something else then to beat my wife's ancestor who lived to be 108 in Ireland.

I think there is someone on the Vine who is proof of that but it is bad manners to discuss a ladies age so I won't mention VC

I'm off to find another hobby then. I don't want to live till I'm 100.

Bob's Nan made it to 107. Don't know if she did much gardening. I didn't meet her until she was 99. She'd given up most hobbies by then apart from alcohol

^There's something so Walter Whitish about that cool emoji. I do a double take every time I see it.

Way to go! She used the alcohol as a preservative

I think she did after her 105 birthday party Bob's mum (lived next door) had to get the Dr out to see her.
Turned out she was pi$$ed. The family didn't realise how many different people had refilled her sherry glass .
A marvellous lady

I laugh at my Mum (98) when the doctors ask her about her lifestyle -

Do you smoke? - No, never.


Drink? Well, I used to have a sherry at Christmas!

Even then she was tiddly.

I am having difficulty understanding this Sp, enjoy your life now, don't wait till you are a hundred before you start to live
