A middle-aged man appears in a mirror selfie wearing a dark green wool coat, black-and-white scarf and a newsboy cap

Milestones

For many reasons I suck at selfies, but here’s an attempt because I made it to 50 earlier this week. I’m not one for birthdays but this one seems a bit different, maybe a feeling of being closer to the end than the beginning. Whatever it is there’s no stopping.

The coat I’m wearing is the handmade, Tuscan wool coat I bought in a lovely shop in Florence a couple of months ago. It held up well to the insane winds we’ve been having here in Halifax the last few days.
