We have such treasured memories of get-togethers with neighbours and friends. I can recall our living room being filled to capacity.
Our Dutch neighbours used to provide us with Indonesian food and our German neighbour often brought the most interesting dishes to our parties. On New Year's Eve we all ventured outside to bang on pots and pans at midnight, having spent the evening together playing card games and guessing games. It sure was fun.
My advice to the present generation is to enjoy every moment. Treasure your friends, don't put things off, seize the day! Do not spend your time chasing money. Life goes by so quickly. Above all, capture it all on camera - memories tend to fade.
Don't be intimidated by so-called 'better' cooks. Even if you offer a cup of coffee or tea, macaroni and cheese, meat loaf or a pizza - the whole idea is to open your door and your heart.
Don't mind me. When you grow old, you can wear purple and speak what is in your heart.
