MAY I just thank Helen Mead for her column “Sex for health, or a pacemaker” (The Press, July 20).

I read it to my husband this morning and it was the best laugh we have had for a while.

Both of us have burned our calories off by weeding, digging and planting, as it says in the article, plus me playing bowls for many years and God willing, will for some years to come.
