I don't recall it though I love that programme. I was actually thinking of my mum. She's 83 now and still remembers searching out house for a whole day! And no, she wasn't blonde! Wink

You start looking at flowers in the gardens rather than the girls in the street! Great thread Diana, but in reality I have to put my hands up to most of these acts!

You can look back at how silly you were when you were young, and take pride in being older but wiser, and  being more self-confident and less self-conscious.

And you don't sweat the small stuff (as much). Wink
