Found this version of 'when I am old I shall wear purple', this one is definitely me ;D
When I am an old sheep woman, I shall wear muddy boots and beautifully knitted wool sweaters
And a felted hat that suits me just fine.
And I shall spend my pension on coffee and cake
And fine treats for my sheep and goats, and say we have no money for bread.
I shall sit in the hay loft with a faithful collie and cat in my lap
And listen to ‘my girls’ softly baaing below.
In Spring, I shall lay down in the meadow
With kids and lambs all around and drink fresh milk…
When suddenly, I am an old sheep woman.

That would do it for me..... but maybe not an old sheep woman though

Thats lovely, very well adapted, I am getting to that stage now no beautiful hand knits for me just moth eaten used ones with bleach marks, I do spend my money on coffee and cake and tend to treat the dogs when i have money, I only have dogs and some chickens but rather spend my time with them anyway love the life!!!

Lovely. I'm going to read all the best bits from my favourite books and poems to my pets and livestock and they will listen and admire them with me - I try this on our children but they look at me blankly and return to their lego... ::)

Getting more like that every day ;D

When I am an old sheep woman, I shall wear muddy boots and THE beautifully knitted wool sweaters are now old and baggy
And a felted hat that suits me just fine with a thermal lining and ear flaps.
And I shall spend my pension on coffee and cake So true So True...
And fine treats for my sheep and piglets goats, and say we have no money for bread.
I shall sit in the hay loft with a faithful collie and cat in my lap and inhale the sweet smell of new hay (don’t have a dog or cat)
And listen to ‘my girls’ softly baaing below.
In Spring, I shall lay down in the meadow if only I could get down in the first place...
With kids and lambs all around and drink fresh milk…with a tot of Brandy
When suddenly, I am an the old sheep woman
