In 'A Shed of One's Own', Marcus Berkmann struck a chord and turned it into a bestseller. Now, turning 60, he realises he has entered a new age category: the Young-Old. Well, the body continues to provide challenges (every group meeting seems to begin the dreaded 'organ recital'), and the bank balance may not be doing too well either - but it's certainly not all doom and gloom. Here, he explains how to come to terms with the deficiencies and eccentricities that define one's journey into advancing years.
