My grandchildren make me feel young again! I have 6 children and my 2 eldest have made me a grandparent - Noah 5months and Arthur who is due in November!
Noah is such a cheeky chops! When i am playing with him it reminds me of when my children were babies smile

Being with my grandchildren and wanting to be around to watch them as they grow.

Definitely my grandchildren. To see the joy of wonder on their faces when they discover something new. Priceless

Riding my bicycle, and not just 'all downhill from here' now that I've invested in an electric bike. Wish I'd done it years ago, I can now enjoy going further without tiring and even look forward to the climbs.

Playing with my grandsons getting on their scooters and having races with them and sing out loud to all the old songs of my youth x

I've lost some weight in recent years and as a result been more active. My fitbit encourages this and I feel younger than I have for years. I'm looking forward too retiring and having the time for all the things I can't fit in at present.

Eating a whippy ice cream in a cone always makes me feel like a child again!

I love watching all the old films from years ago, and reminiscing.Also the 50s and 60s music.

I love the feeling of driving with the window open and the radio blasting a tune from my youth. It always makes me feel young again lol

The 5 year old son of my neighbours who pops his head over the fence for a chat at every opportunity and loves to come round to feed the goldfish in the pond and play with my dogs.

Dancing makes me feel young.

I feel young when I am with my grandchildren and I also love to travel a lot especially around Britain. I love seeing new places and visiting all the Scottish Islands.

4 years ago in our late sixties we realised our long held dream of owning a house in France. At the time our children thought we were mad. But the hard work and resulting sense of achievement coupled with our new lifestyle keeps us young.

Remembering all the good times I had when I was young, and going on with the day, having a laugh with my workmates whether they are young or same age as myself, listening to the music from my teens up and playing same music whenever I can, brings back memories

Rediscovering all my favourite books and films with my younger son who's 9, doing a lot of things together, and generally being among the young kids, as I volunteer at school. I also read a lot of YA fiction.

Working with wonderful young people with learning difficulties. I have to think, act and believe I'm young to relate to them. I feel like I'm fifteen from the neck up. No comment from the neck down, but it's what in your head that counts!!
