Having fun makes me feel young again whether it is bodyboarding in the summer or tobogganing in the winter.

Chatting to my friend, we have been friends since we were 13 and once we get together the years melt away and we are like naughty school girls. So much fun.

I live in an over 60s community and it makes me feel young when the others ask me how old I am becs7se they don’t think I am old enough to live there!

My GP keeps checking his computer to see how old I am and once asked me my secret for looking so young

Sweets that make me feel nostalgic, music that reminds me of younger days, good company, laughter, motorbikes and staying out of hospital for longer periods!

Meeting up with friends made long ago - they still think of me like I was!

My Baby Grandaughter makes me feel young again. She is nearly 6 months old,and is a joy to be with.

To be honest, mentally I'm still a child, I keep getting asked when I'm going to grow up, it's just the aches and pains that keep me grounded!

I downloaded some of my childhood favourite books for my Granddaughter , and started reading them , I was transported back to when I was a child , reading my borrowed books as I walked out of the library ,

Spending the day shopping in Leeds and buying something to wear which don't actually need but love.

I feel so young when I hear music from the 70's and 80's it takes me back to my younger care free days when I was a Disco Queen and I could dance like nobody is watching.

I might have some more wobbly bits now to jiggle about and a few more wrinkles but for those moments lost in music I am back to my youth.

Music perks me up, keeps me sane, is great exercise and it takes years off me. I am a dedicated Mum Dancer with moves that would scare off the dog!!
