Playing with the grandchildren in the woods

Joining in community dance performances. I'm often the oldest there but once you have rehearsed and you are part of it age is forgotten. I was in the Great North Star last year, a suffragette in Deeds Not Words earlier this year and I'm in Flying High-a celebration of the Red Kite on Saturday. landofoakandiron.org.uk/events/flying-high-dance-performance/

Seeing someone i haven't seen for donkeys years and them telling me i haven't changed (even though i know they are probably telling fibs)

Riding my bike keeps me young

rachelshane21 Tue 08-Oct-19 22:26:45

Hearing my daughters giggle and chasing bubbles and dressing up and singing songs all make me remember being young and happy!

Im 63 and still working, I think work makes you feel young, it keeps the brain active and its true what they say, if you dont use it you lose it. Most of my colleagues are young enough to be my children and in some cases grandchildren but this just makes me more determined to stay active and young.

Volunteering at our local Brownie Pack, suddenly I find myself up to my elbows in craft, hurtling down a hill on a grass sledge, abseiling, learning about recycling or countless other activities which make me feel alive each week.

Going to theme parks with my two adult son's keeps me young. When they were young they couldn't go on the big rides and when in their teens they wanted to go with their friends. Now they take me! I am an adrenaline junkie! I love being on the front of a fast ride being turned upside down again and again and screaming at the top of my voice! I can't wait for our next day out!

Went to aqua-aerobics and my friend said wow you've got great legs, not a varicose vein in sight!! I retire soon!

I am in my late 60's and when i meet people i haven't seen for a good few years they always say i have never changed and they would recognise me anywhere so i can't be ageing too badly.
