RIP Sheila - Elton John's Mum 6 Years, 4 Months ago  
Once spent an evening with them both in Los Angeles - just the three of us and some roast lamb (must have been 1990).

I am so glad they made up before she died. It is hard enough anyway.

Not sure where she died, but she used to live quite close to our family villa in Menorca

92 is a good age, I don't think Generation x will live as long, mainly because they were brought up on processed food, and bigger portions. Most of the third world die of malnutrition, whilst the first world die of conditions related to over-eating. Also the decline in the effectiveness of anti-biotics is also going to have an effect.

I think the idea of portions being smaller is tosh.
Yes, if you look at dinners from the 1940s they look smaller than ours, but that was because there was rationing, and a stodgy pudding to follow.
Have you looked at Mrs Beeton's books? She certainly didnt skimp.
