I miss having the energy I used to have, mum always said I had ants in my pants, as I never sat down. 
I also miss my lovely almost raven black hair, it’s still long but it’s very very light now, I look in the mirror and I don’t see me anymore.

I miss not having a care in the world - I don’t really mean personal things like finances etc, but all the things like wars, attacks on people, injustices, greed etc. When we were young life was just so much easier, we weren’t exposed to things like that and were allowed to just be kids, to go out and play all day and usually out in the fresh air. I feel sorry for kids today (especially in bigger towns and cities) where parents have had to become stricter.
Btw, anyone who misses their health and vitality …I wonder if you might be interested in biohacking? 
It’s actually a fascinating topic with some great research on reversing and halting ageing. If any of you are, let me know and I’ll post some links to books that you might find interesting, and I’d say don’t despair, some of these things are very actionable and you never know you may well be able to reverse some ailments or issues or things that might be bothering you

That’s how it started.

I was going to say something about being young but I’ve forgotten what it was.

Playing French cricket in the street.
Hardly any traffic on the roads.
Less noisy back then…
Roller skating on the smooth tarmac roads
Feeling we were safer back then.
Dad’s bed making. He used to shove the sheets so tightly under the mattress, it was wonderful sliding down into the sheets without moving them. They stayed tight around me and it made me feel secure.
On a Sunday afternoon when dad wasn’t working and when mum was in hospital, if there was a good film on the TV, he brought home a tube of St Peter’s chocolate (I think it was called). They were round disc shaped chocs, with a dip in the middle and individually wrapped in silver foil. My sister and I were given one every now and again as we sat in the lounge watching the film with the curtains closed to keep the sunshine out.
Staying with beloved grandma (who made the most wonderful gravy) and staying with my equally wonderful Aunt and Uncle and cousins in Kent.
Oh, shucks… I’d better shut up… there’s loads that I miss

I miss the times when my social life didn’t always revolve around eating. Now I’m old whenever friends and family want to meet up it’s for a meal. I’ll be like the side of a house if they keep this up😅
Do you go out or stay in?
If you go out ,you could walk or if you stay in, you could prepare a delicious meal of lettuce and cucumber.
Only if her guests are 
You are right of course.There should be some Brussels sprouts.

We usually go out, for lunch or an evening meal. If I make lunch here there would be a riot if they got salad, ladies who lunch have to have cake, you know 
A walk would be good, but it would end up in a cafe with cake. (Are you spotting a theme here?)
But the days of a night in the pub or going to theatre or gigs or galleries or events seem to be over as we get older and getting about us harder for some of them. And I miss it.

I miss responding to a call of “there’s a letter here for you” and feeling excited about what it might contain.
Now I just think “oh now what!”
I still have hope, every single day.
Hope that I make it to tomorrow.
I miss Father Xmas.

I don’t mind in the least being called old because it’s the truth, I am old, what’s the point of trying to kid yerself? 
I miss the great eyesight I once had but I don’t miss being young, that was a different part of my life, most enjoyable but that’s gone now and each decade brings it’s own joys and sorrows.
I’m enjoying being in my 70’s now, never been 75 before so it’s all new to me, come to think of it I never thought I’d make it to this age because I’ve done all the things that you’re not supposed to do if you want to stay healthy, my health is great thank God.
What I miss most is my departed family and friends, one of the big downsides (to me) of growing old is so many folks you’ve known now no longer exist.

I also miss singing while my dad played piano
I miss playing with all the friends I had. We always had something fun to do as a happy group of carefree kids.
