Getting older lacks socks appeal
When dad left me out of his will because he had "provided for Charles during my lifetime", I took it on the chin, the strong one I inherited. Little did I realise that when aunties gasped "you have your father's legs", that I would get them embedded with varicose veins and browning later in life like an old boot. I endured hours of growing pains in my knees during my youth, at least knowing it was the price to be paid to be as tall as dad. My grandmother lived to be almost 100 and she covered her legs in bandages because, I was certain she told me, she had asparagus veins.
