Meeting up with friends, very good friends and revisiting our teens. We had such fun and we looked after each other during the 70s at work and when going out. Laughter is the best medicine and keeps you young at heart

Packing up some sandwiches and riding my bike to a deserted river bank or field and enjoying the peace, I always come back feeling young again.

Laughing about something intrinsically silly until your sides are aching and you think you might actually throw up ?

Playing Jacks with my 9 year old granddaughter, sitting on the kitchen floor. Lots of giggling and cheering. Memories of a much younger me playing the same game with my mum.

Playing, singing and dancing with my grandchildren. Feel young (and later k****ered) .. but while it lasts it's a great feeling!

Polly4t42 Mon 16-Sept-19 18:49:12

My 2 yr old grandson explores the world with eyes of wonder. By sharing in his care I see the world with eyes anew and enjoy simple pleasures like feeding ducks, watching builders work and imagining what might live in a hole in the ground(Peter rabbit he decided)
