Learning....it's an age thing.

A client explained to me this week, that people think that the older you get that you don’t have anything more to learn, but indeed you do still have more to learn, you just keep on learning all the time, it never stops.

When I got home one night this week my husband told me that my mother had started painting. I visualised my mother sitting in the garden with an easel and watercolours – that was quite an amazing vision!

It transpired it wasn’t watercolours that she had taken up, it was emulsion! She has for the first time this week, in her 78 years, held a paint brush in her hand and emulsioned the conservatory, and whilst I realise there are more windows than walls in that room it is still pretty amazing. No remarkable actually.

My mother had learnt how to paint a wall, when I recalled I had never, ever seen her do that before.

What have you learnt this week?
