Whoopedy whoop! I went out and about recently, to seek public opinion on the subject of grey hair. No holds barred!
Today, I’d like to share a short video with you. It’s a small cross section of the public talking through their feelings about women ‘going grey.’
These are the people I stopped to chat with, in order of their appearance in the video: (Thanks to you all, for agreeing to go public on the blog with me. Much appreciated.)
Angela: 42
Alma: 20’s
Stuart: Retired
Kevin: 55
I was using my iPhone and hadn’t planned to stay out so long, but in truth, it took a while longer to find men who were willing to be interviewed than it did women, so it was dusk when I met Kevin, hence the moody lighting!
My Recent Absence
I experienced a hiccup two weeks ago. After a ‘big event’ on the Tuesday (more of that soon – wooooo!) I received a recall letter the next morning, following an initial breast screening.
Of course, I did try to keep it in perspective. Inevitably, I guess, it still managed to throw me off balance until the return visit (I needed a biopsy) and results a few days later (very fortunately, not cancer).
It turned out to be a fibroadenoma – a harmless lump of fibrous breast tissue that isn’t able to turn to cancer.
I’m embarrassed to admit that I wasn’t checking myself for lumps or changes. I’m 51 and should have been! Mind you, the staff member who carried out the biopsy – her daily work for the past 10 years – said she had even considered not going for her own recent mammogram and doesn’t check herself as regularly as she should. As she generously pointed out, we’re all human.
Happily, straight after my results came in, my family arrived for their booked visit and stayed for a couple of days. Good food, a couple of cheeky glasses of wine, some heart to heart chat and lots of laughs and hugs .. and all was right with the world again.
Fifty Shades of Grey
I’ve been working my way through lots of content and have a fair bit to share with you about my ‘Transition to Silver.’ As promised, we’ll return to food as soon as we’re up to speed. I know there a good few who are following my hair adventure! I’ll keep it as brief as I can. 🙂
So let’s visit the video. It’s just 7 minutes long. Grab yourself a coffee/tea/juice and see what some of the public had to say about the subject of women going grey!
See you tomorrow, when the story starts to ramp up a gear. As I said .. a lot has been happening! 😉
Are you ready to join me on the adventure yet? Hehehehe.
Please share your thoughts below …
Toodle-Oo for now!
