It's later than you think
(Preview)
I had lunch with a good friend at the weekend. She is 50 and was diagnosed with cancer one year ago - she has been fighting it well and may survive... who knows...? We discussed my plans to sell up, buy a caravan and go AWOL and she reminded me of a phrase I had forgotten: It's later than you think.
