It's rare I do feel old, but hiding under the bed clothes to listen to music ... haha, those were the days of Radio Luxembourg

walking hand and hand with hubby along the beach always takes me back to our courting days and reminds me how lucky we are to still be as in love with each other after 36 years

I've recently joined the gym and walking out of the gym after a workout - all tired & sweaty - in my trainers makes me feel young...…..and a million dollars.

Being with my best friend laughing and talking silly like our childhood days we never matured ???

Going to the beach makes me feel young every time because I love nothing better than to go searching for sea creatures in the rock pools.

Walking and observing life in the city or countryside. Just thinking how great it is to be part of this world & feel that same sense of freedom I felt when I was young. I am part of this world & it feels great.

Music and dancing with my crazy grandchildren makes me feel young and energised again.
