Spending time with my best friend who I have known for over 50 years. We talk of childhood memories and have the same sense of humour plus our parents who are all gone now were friends. We have such happy times together. .
The aroma of cut grass in summer, birdsong, Kojak on ITV 4, The route through mid wales to the coast, the smell of my elderly parents home, Frankie Howard, Tommy Cooper, Morecambe and Wise, Andy Williams, the theme tune to the Alan Freeman radio show. The first Eric Clapton LP I bought, Slowhand. The sound of my own grandchildren. The next adventure.
I'm afraid that 'rampant sex' was indeed my first thought but I bet others have said that, so... finding my Biba dresses and holding them up in the mirror and wondering why I stick out at either side of them... Still makes me feel young, 'though!
Still having great fun with friends who were our neighbours when we got married in 1968. We have been so lucky to be there for each other through over 51 years!
Watching and listening to the Rolling Stones. I went to see them at Old Trafford in Manchester last June on their No Filter tour and it was like being 16 again when I first saw them at Roundhay Park in Leeds in 1982. Whenever I hear a track of theirs I immediately feel young again and they are an inspiration to me. Can't wait for the next tour, possibly in 2022 when they celebrate 60 years as a band.
I recently started dancing classes - fast movements to very modern up to date music and I absolutely love it. Never imagined I'd be beebopping around at my age and doing leaps and turns but I do! Makes me feel like a teenager again.
