With his move to a Methodist Home for the Aged, Fred believed his writing days to be over. 'I knew that old age does nothing for the inspiration'. However, he was wrong, and this modest 'sequence in verse on the theme of old age' brings smiles and tears as Fred takes us into his new home and shares his, and the community's, hopes and fears, joys and sorrows in 53 'verses'; on themes as diverse as 'Sex in Old Age', Bonnets and Perms', and 'Going to Church in a Mini-bus'.
