Paddle boarding and I and surfing just being in the water makes me feel young.

Walking on a sandy beach with sand between my toes. Listening to Children laugh as they build sandcastles and play in the sea. Takes me back to a wonderful care free childhood.sunshine

Music from the sixties makes me feel young again, gets me dancing around the kitchen with my grandchildren, memories come flooding back to me of my youth The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, beehive hairdos, pointed toe shoes, rushing home on a Friday to watch Top of The Pops. Happy days x

Spontaneous actions. Just decided to get the train from New Street to Gabowen to meet up with someone I haven’t seen in 50 years. My first reaction was ‘no way ‘ followed by ‘why the hell not?’

My little Grandson, through him, I am up to date on all the latest trends, I get to play all the games and have fun, I laugh a lot and all these elements keep my mind feeling young, just need my body to follow suit!
