A baby boomer, apparently, is anyone born between 1946 and 1964 - anyone from fortyish to sixty. We're a lucky generation. We seem to have led the way since the Swinging Sixties. We invented sex, drugs and rock ‘n' roll, for goodness' sake. Then we got sensible and launched ourselves into a frenzy of bringing up kids and rising to the top of our careers. We power-dressed our way through the eighties, and then found ourselves, in the words of Shirley Conran, too busy to stuff a mushroom! Now we are discovering a different way of being middle-aged.
