Buying new clothes in a young person's shop! Of course they are appropriate eg. in length, but I can be adventurous in cut and colour and they are usually cheaper than "classic" clothes.

Being with my siblings. There are 5 of us and we all stay far apart from the others so we do not get many chances of all being together but as soon as we do I am taken straight to my youth.

Memories, thinking back and remembering escapades I use to get up too, they make me laugh, and it takes me right back to when I was young

Walking along a sandy shore with the waves rippling and the sun shining! Nothing beats a spot of vitamin sea ?

Listening to the 60s music .It always takes me back to when I was young.

Our short, regular visits to the Norfolk coast. Only just an hour & a half car journey away, but rejuvenates us both. :-)

Going hill walking on a bright, breezy day.

Being with my three teenage granddaughters, admiring their new shoes, bags, clothes, hair, makeup, music. It all takes me back to feeling what it was like when I was a teenager. Nothing like it to make me feel young again.....aaaah!

Music and dancing.

Listening to the music of the sixties.

I echo other ideas - either hanging out with younger members of the family or listening to the music of my youth. Fingers crossed x

Going to Pilates and still getting up from the floor unaided. So many people have to have help. I always come away with a spring in my step! smile

I try to maintain a youthful outlook on life.
I like dancing and singing along to music from the 70s, and playing with my great-nieces/nephews. Enjoyed going up and down their slide at a recent birthday party!
