So good to celebrate older women, so often overlooked.

I think the French women in Kent are on the East Pier in Ramsgate. More of a harbour wall walk than an actual pier but a bracing and enjoyable stroll with great views of Ramsgate.

It was the little boost that this older woman needed before facing students this morning. TGIF!

Fernande Bressy stopped me dead in my tracks. This photo is SO compelling, I felt that I had just come upon Ms. Bressy on that rural pathway and was about to exchange greetings with her. I imagine the reflection in her glasses, the fortitude of her pose, her strong hands rubbing the wooden cane, a roguish chuckle. How I would love to know her story.

Wonderful!

Great stuff!
