The smell of privet hedges after a downpour takes me back to my childhood.

I've recently trained to be a Literacy Volunteer to go into schools and encourage a love of reading, the children are amazing and I love listening to them read and chat to me ?

Following the Couch to 5k running programme sucessfully. Running is something I never thought I would be able to do at the age of 64.

Listening to all my 60's and 70's music. Happy times. It is almost as if I was back in those days, as long as I dont look in the mirror too closely!!

Travelling - since retiring I haven't stopped! It's wonderful to have the time and freedom. In between travels I love spending time with my wonderful grandchildren - always keeping me young at heart even if a bit creaky in the knees.

just having fun - and a really good giggle

Spending time with people of all ages x

A family party!

The food is pretty much the same, the music comes from all ages, we all like a glass of something bubbly. If I shut my eyes I can see my Nan in the corner holding my grandads hand and watching the kids 'bop' . I can see my Mum dancing with her oldest friend Joy , my Dad in the kitchen talking football.

Being part of that even now they are gone and I am the old lady makes me happy.

I still am young (38) but the hot sex I have with my boyfriend will continue to keep me feeling that way! ;-)
