What does it feel like to be middle-aged? Twenty-seven in your own head, sixty-five in the mirror, ninety to your children and your mother still thinks you're twelve.'Here in the middle we must carry on being reasonable, the cart horses of society, while everyone else - the young and old - run amok...My mother grumps about in the garden, my daughter sobs upstairs. I find on these occasions I tend to play football with the dog. When one lives in a rather dramatic household, empty nest syndrome seems a delightful prospect.'Famous for her hilarious Treasure: the Teenage Terror books, Michele Hanson now collects her Guardian columns which chart the slippery slope into serious middle-age.
