Out of the Woods But Not Over the Hill

'You know you are growing old when you have more hair in your ears than on your head, a dripping tap causes an uncontrollable urge and you look forward to a good night in.'Bestselling author Gervase Phinn is approaching his seventh decade with as much of a sense of humour as ever. And he's discovered that being a 'wrinkly' has its advantages too - he can express his feelings with as much freedom and force as he likes. So here he is - with warmth and wit and no-holds-barred opinions - on everything from marriage to manners and mobile phones to memories of times past.Out of the woods, but definitely not yet over the hill, this is life according to the inimitable Gervase Phinn.

"A worthy successor to James Herriot, and every bit as endearing." - Alan Titchmarsh
