Liverpool to Kirkby Fields: A glimpse at life in a 1950-60s overspill town. by Kate Higgins (36 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

A tale of a personal account of a childhood spent in Kirkby, the first of the Liverpool overspill towns to develop - the story takes me back over 35 years to when my dad was employed during the second world war as a civil servant at the Royal Ordnance factory. With a population of around 3,000 made up mainly of farming people, the pretty little town was just a few years later to be developed into the new town with population figures reaching 50,000 at its peak. As I walk through Kirkby Park estate, 35 years since I left Kirkby, I recall the people, the events, Liverpool's working life and social life, and the humour which together made me and my seven brothers and sisters who we are today.

Over 50 and Fabulous : The Second Adulthood Thriving Guide by Tania Klein (5 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

You are fifty. Now what? As women approach their fiftieth birthday, they often experience hot flashes, mood swings, and an array of emotions, ranging from frustration, anxiety, desperation, hopelessness, blissful ignorance, and a false sense of bravery. Rarely, if ever, do women say that the day they turned fifty was the best day of their lives. But what if we were to turn this narrative around and start viewing turning fifty (sixty, seventy, or any age, for that matter) as the time in our lives when we finally get to be our true selves and do things that are truly important to us? When, instead of trying to conform to society's outdated standards, we can proudly embrace our uniqueness. A time when expectations and polite social behavior don't make you feel boxed in or that you need to "act your age," but rather, cause you to see yourself as an immensely advanced person capable of doing whatever you set your mind on. This is the time to rewrite the History of Aging and reconsider ...
