You think you know it all in life. It has been one big discovery for me. Moving to another country at the age of 20, learning their language, their dialects, their way of life. There was so much that was different, and then I married the country in the shape of Mr. Swiss and even learnt how to cook their food.

Today I have more than 70 years behind me and am still learning, but on a different level. I have now learnt not to depend on my legs so much, which no longer do as well as they used to. I have discovered the advantages of a wheelchair, a scooter and a walker to support me on my daily duties. I have discovered I can do it. Perhaps a little slower, but as a golden oldie there is no longer a rush to do anything.
