As well as being a Nana to 3 little ones I am a preschool teacher. Spending all my time with little people keeps you young at heart - though maybe my knees don't always feel so young!

Lying down in the snow and making snow angels - I felt like a child again but it was really hard to get up again!

I’m writing ✍️ my memoirs about growing up in Cornwall in the 50’s and 60’s and just thinking ? about those times and listening to the 60’s Music ? and I’m there. A teenager again, wearing flip flops and Bermuda shorts, hanging out with the surfers ?‍♀️,swimming, sunbathing, lazing on the beach...I just have to close my eyes and I’m there ?

Meeting up with my best friend (who I’ve been besties with since we were 4) keeps me young. We revert back to being giggly schoolgirls in no time !

Kicking leaves in the autumn and crunching through big piles that have just been swept blush. By the time my children were about 10, they thought I was silly but I still do it now. Even if I'm on my own I cannot walk past a big piles on leaves grin .
