My 13 year old son. Despite often being mistaken for, and definitely old enough to be, his Granny ......and my lovely 7 year old grandson.

Line dancing on a Monday morning and chatting to my line dancing friend makes me young again each week.

Music! I am always transported elsewhere when I catch the notes or lyrics of a song from yesteryear. Whether it's the disco beats of the seventies, where I relive some mad escapade of my youth, the rhythms from a brass band (I am back with my dad, who loved them) or the croons of Frank Sinatra (my mother, Frank and I used to sing and cook together).

Being out with my 8-year old grandson who talks to me about all sorts of things - music, computer games, football - thinking that I understand everything.

Like a lot of respondents it's our grandchildren but they are also quite tiring to be around so relatively small doses with spaces in between suits best!

Learning something new makes me feel as young and enthusiastic as when I was in my early twenties.

BEING IN WARMER CLIMATES WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAVING A GOOD TIME

Spending time with the grandchildren is a great way to feel young again. Lots of laughter, reading stories and taking them to the park. Telling stories of your own childhood makes their eyes light up! Walks help too - when you can pick up with nature, explain things and get them to notice and ask questions.

It makes me feel young to sing along and mess about with Grandsons (8 and 4) to their music!

Joining in with my grandchildren's latest crazes. I even dressed up as a Smurf once to surprise them!

When I’m out with my grandchildren and someone mistakes me for their Mum ! Going to one event, one grandson pointed out that as I’m an OAP I can get in cheaper ... the man selling the tickets said “ well whatever you’re on, can I have some “ .... I practically skipped across the field ?‍♀️?

Whenever I get called a girl by an older person makes me feel young.

Rejuvenation just to know my lovely Mr. L ( we only married 5 years ago) is recovering from a serious illness and is being taken care of by the NHS better than I could have hoped for. Just roll back the years please a little more!
