Cicero remarked that old age is a strange business. No one wants to miss it, he said, and everyone complains about it when they get there. Not I, though.

One of the great delights of the golden years is doing less – from giving up DIY and ambition to not inviting people to dinner. In these elegantly entertaining essays, Enfield guides those entering their finer years on how to make the most of old age.

■ To be published just aer Edward’s 80th birthday.

Lye: My ears, companion and best friend

My ears, companion and best friend

Life took a turn for the worse for poor Nicola Willis when she became severely deaf, but her canine companion has given her the confidence to enjoy life again and has been at her side in times of need…

“

When I became deaf I withdrew into myself; became depressed and lost all confidence. What really upset me was that I became reliant on other people : I had lost my independence. I stayed in my house, but even that was awful as I just couldn’t hear even simple sounds. I was sinking fast.

“

When Lye came back to me having been trained, everything changed. Friends started to call on me again, knowing that not only would the front door be opened, but on the other side of the door would be two very happy individuals. It was like the light was shining again. My depression was lifting.

“

Lye:

She decided to apply for a hearing dog and was delighted when her own 14-month Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Lye, was assessed by the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and accepted for training. The pair were separated for a difficult four months while Lye was put through her paces at training school, where she learned how to react to various household sounds including the telephone, doorbell, cooker timer and the ‘call’ (an instruction other people can give to Lye asking her to fetch Nicola) as well as the danger sounds of the smoke alarm and fire bell. In July 2005 they were reunited, this time with Lye in her smart, burgundy hearing dog working jacket. Since having Lye as a hearing dog, Nicola’s life has changed dramatically.

But Lye’s dedication to Nicola didn’t stop there. In 2008 Lye acted above and beyond the call of duty twice. The first time was on an outing to the shops; Nicola was recovering from a damaged knee at the time and was using crutches.

“

We were taking a short cut through an alleyway when I fell over, and I just lay on the ground, cold, scared and in pain – I couldn’t get up. To my surprise
