Old + Cool

My Mum just turned 70 which has given me a whole new perspective on growing old. She is AMAZINGLY energetic and young at heart and I think probably enjoying life more than ever. Most people don't think of growing older as being particularly aspirational but when I see my Mum and now this lady pictured above (she's 72) I realise that like most things growing older is what you make of it and as such needs to be embraced with vim and vigour!
