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/

Messing around with my kids, running through the wood with my dog and laughing out loud with my friends ... currently on the search for a toyboy - I think that would help too!!!!
