Beautiful words about the embracing the autumnal & winter seasons of our lives 🧡
RIP 🕊️

One month before turning 95, Patricia Routledge wrote this, she died today aged 96.

“I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. When I was younger, I often worried I wasn’t good enough—that I’d never be cast again, that I’d disappoint my mother. But these days begin in peace and end in gratitude.”

In my forties, my life finally began to make sense. Before that, I’d performed steadily—provincial stages, radio plays, West End productions—but felt somewhat lost. I was searching for something within myself, a home I hadn’t yet found.

At 50, I took a television role that many of you would later know me by—Hyacinth Bucket from Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would just be a minor role, a brief moment. I never expected it to become beloved across the globe. That character taught me to embrace my quirks and quietly healed something deep within me.

At 60, I started learning Italian—not for my career, but simply so I could sing opera in its native tongue. I learned the gentle art of living alone without loneliness, reading poetry aloud each night—not to perfect diction, but to soothe my spirit.

At 70, I returned to Shakespearean theatre, a place I once thought I’d aged out of. This time, there was nothing to prove. I stepped onto those legendary boards with calmness. The audience felt that serenity. I had stopped performing; I was simply being.

At 80, I discovered watercolor painting. I painted flowers from my garden, nostalgic hats from my youth, and faces glimpsed on the London Underground—each painting was a silent memory made tangible.

Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning the simple joy of baking rye bread. I still breathe deeply each morning. Laughter remains precious, though I no longer feel the need to make others laugh. Quietness is sweeter than ever.

I’m writing this today to share something simple and true:

Growing older isn’t a final act—it can be life’s most exquisite chapter if you allow yourself to bloom once more.

Let the years ahead be your treasure years.
You don’t have to be perfect, famous, or adored.
You only need to be present—fully—for the life that’s yours.

With warmth and gentle love,
— Patricia Routledge

RIP

In the center of Barcelona stands El Esfuerzo (“The Effort”), also known as La Carga (“The Burden”), a sculpture by Jaume Plensa that captures a quiet, overwhelming truth.

This sculpture embodies the silent and often overlooked burden borne by women who are frequently labeled as “doing nothing” at home. It represents the continuous, unseen labor involved in managing a household—cooking, cleaning, caring, organizing, and holding everything together without acknowledgment. The figure serves as a symbol of resilience, reminding us that what is often dismissed as “nothing” is actually the cornerstone of daily life.

It prompts us to reconsider the true nature of labor and the sources of real value. The absence of a paycheck or formal title does not diminish the importance of this work. This piece honors the countless women whose contributions remain unrecognised , celebrating their quiet strength and bringing the invisible to light.

The days of Bohally for Zumba are almost over! 😢 (years actually!) Since 2010 we have enjoyed this dance floor 🪩 15 years of good times together.
Tomorrow night - Wednesday 17 September - we celebrate our last hurrah here!

The school is upgrading their hall & we’re super grateful for the ride we’ve shared.
From the following week our new venues are:
Mondays - Nurses Recreation Hall, Wairau Hospital
Wednesday- Senior Citizens Hall, High St
Both at 5:30pm, both still only $5 a class

So for now, put on some colour, dust off your dance shoes & let’s farewell Bohally in style!
