2. Let me introduce myself
WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I
SHALL WEAR PURPLE
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit
me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and
summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for
butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm
bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and
things in boxes
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the
papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and
surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

11. Don’t just take my word for it!
"We have been advertising with Darlington Monthly
in recent issues, initially we were dubious about how
successful the campaign would be. However the
success has far surpassed our expectations and we
have had 3 residential jobs and 2 large commercial
contract tenders directly from the magazine.
Angela's customer service is second to none, you
also get the added bonus of social media promotion
done by Angela via Twitter & Facebook. We would
recommend Darlington monthly for any business of
any size wanting to increase their presence with in
the Darlington area.
"
Jon from A and J Garden Services.
"I have advertised in The Darlington Monthly
for a couple of years now and I have to say
that I have had more feedback from my
adverts placed here than from anywhere else.
Angela is an extremely helpful person who
strives to maximise your advertising with her
by promoting your advert on Facebook and
twitter every 4 days within the month. If you
have something to advertise then this is the
place to be seen."
Nigel Alderson, Alderson Butchers.
"Darlington Monthly has been an effective
addition to our marketing strategy for clients
