Playing badminton and cricket in the garden with our ten year-old grandson, making perfume and fairy dresses with five year-old granddaughter, crafting with eight year-old other granddaughter and generally rolling about with our two year-old grandson. What larks!

Don't get old before your time, if you say to yourself "I feel old, I cant do that" then you will def get old before your time! You only have one life, go out and live it to the best of your ability!

Going over to Liverpool and listening to all the groups playing during Beatles week in August and reliving the 60s music travels across all decades and takes you back to the day.

I’m entering a new stage with my 15year old daughter. Fortunately we are friends ! What makes me feel young again is spending time with her. Oddly we clothes shop ( probably because I pay ) and a lot of the fashion has gone full circle and I remember buying the exact same item at her age. It’s a fantastic experience I will always cherish.
