This week, we say farewell to Dame Patricia Routledge — the unforgettable Hyacinth “Bouquet” from Keeping Up Appearances. At 96, Dame Patricia left behind more than laughter; she left lessons on living fully at every age.
From British sitcom fame to singing opera in Italian at 60, painting flowers at 80, and baking rye bread at 95, Dame Patricia never stopped learning, laughing, or blooming. In this episode, I reflect on her remarkable life and what it teaches us about embracing aging — not as an ending, but as a beautiful new chapter.
We’ll also talk about:
- The surprising way Patricia Routledge found peace in her later years
- How to keep growing, learning, and creating joy at any age
- My own thoughts on aging, reinvention, and why “you still have time”
👉 Plus, I share a few podcast recommendations — including You Still Have Time and Impariamo l’Italiano Piano Piano — for anyone looking to keep their mind and heart young.
As Dame Patricia once said:
“Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter if you let yourself bloom again.”
Rest in peace, Dame Patricia — and thank you for showing us how to bloom. 🌷
🎧 Listen now and don’t forget to follow, rate, and share Bill Monty’s Guide for Getting Older.
Stay safe, stay kind, and keep blooming.
