Without a doubt it's listening to music. Music brings back happy memories of good times......

I always feel young! I feel I am the female version of Peter Pan and always stay youthful - you're only as young as you feel and I certainly live my life everyday like that!

Spending time with my little granddaughters. I am lucky to be able to see them several times a week, and a couple of days a week I take them to school and pick them up again. Being back with mums in the playground makes me feel like I'm back in the days when mine were at primary school! It's surprising how many other nanas are doing the same. I get to go on some school trips too!

I feel so much younger by eating a good balanced diet and cutting out all of the junk food.
