Are you in your 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s or older? Perhaps you’ve taken up a new sport (or got better at one you already enjoyed), discovered a new hobby, started a new career, met a new love… Tell us how you’ve defied expectations about ageing.
We’d particularly like to know what you’ve changed about your life, and how old you were when this started, as well as how your friends and family feel about you. Are they shocked that you’re not behaving like the archetypal “old person” – or delighted?
What’s your own attitude to ageing? Do you feel that you’ve aged internally as well as externally? If you’ve retired, how did that change your life and how you feel about yourself? As the years go by, do you feel more pressure to do things while there’s still time?
