Being a geriatric mother makes me feel young. Plus getting involved in lots of my sons activities and clubs keeps me around young people

Entering competitions with a kettle and a toaster as a prize makes me feel ancient!
Come on Grans demand more. How about a motor bike or a trip to Nepal?

Being with my teenage grandchildren. We enjoy each other’s company and do lots of things together, shopping, eating out and visits to the cinema

Paddling in the sea and making sandcastles with the children . Laughing and eating ice creams. Telling stories about fairies and magic and still believing them myself . .. all of these things make me feel young x

My grandkids. Love all the stuff you can do, messy play where you get to paint, play with rice, cornflakes. Baby sensory where you can sing and play with your little ones

Trying to not think too much about age and that it's just a number.

Jumping on frozen puddles and watching the ice crack

Certain songs on the radio make me feel young again. They seem to trigger a far flung memory of a particular happy time and I smile to myself. The film Grease is one that makes me remember singing into a hairbrush and gyrating round my bedroom like crazy. You're the one that I want...... Hopelessly devoted to you..... Summer nights......Greased lightnin'......... Awesome. Awwwwwwwww!

I try to have different groups of friends. Where possible try have young people in the group and ensure that meet-ups include topics to suit them.

getting out and about all the time makes me feel young I can do what I want when I want now.

Acting like a child with my niece's two little boys. Joshua 3 and Ethan 2 years old.
Going through the old photographs and remembering such happy days in my younger years.

I've recently taken up line dancing and can't tell you how good I am feeling now!

My grand children, I see things so differently through their eyes, things that I have taken for granted are so exiting again

Listening to 70's music and being around young people.

WOODMOUSE49 Thu 12-Sept-19 16:20:23

Listening and dancing with DH to our 60s and 70s favourite plus some of the latest tunes. Very into brilliant band called JUNGLE. ???

This makes this 70 year old feel at least half her age.
