I find it impossible to believe and even did the maths again to check, but there's no doubt about it, I'm 60 years old today. If you're thinking that I'm too old to write about men's style and that you'll never visit Grey Fox again, ponder this. It seems yesterday that I left school, went to university, qualified as a lawyer, married, had children and the children left home. Life passes by very fast. Unless you're older than me, you'll very soon find yourself wondering at the passing years just as I am.

Yet I feel privileged. Age brings contentment, stability and confidence to many of us. We have experienced the ups and downs of life. This brings frustration, as we see others (not least politicians) repeating past mistakes, but it also brings a certain wisdom.
The blog enables me to explore new interests and areas. I will continue to write about style, will harry the fashion industry to take notice of the older man and will support young, new or British-made businesses when I can.
Please stay in touch.
