00:00The bee is sliding out of my hand.
00:01Oh no, she's perfect, it can't be, she's so happy.
00:03She brings me happiness.
00:13I truly believe that age is just a number.
00:16And as I get older, I really try to find the things that bring me happiness.
00:21Dancing like no one's watching, eating all my favourite foods,
00:24or just laughing with my really good friends.
00:27Joy doesn't have to disappear as we get older.
00:29Sometimes we just have to rediscover it.
00:33Today at the stunning Haythrop Park in the Cotswolds,
00:36as part of my role as Chief Joy Officer,
00:38I'm discovering our nostalgic moments from younger years.
00:41But before we go and check out this gorgeous Grade II listed property,
00:45let's go and spread a little happiness in the local area.
00:59Is there something that you've rediscovered later in life that brings you happiness?
01:06Time with family.
01:07I travel a lot.
01:08I have been for the last 10 years.
01:10When you get older, you just realise, actually, the things that make me happy are my family,
01:13my dogs, more simple stuff.
01:15Yeah, I like taking the dogs on the beach.
01:17Your mental health, your physical health, what does that look like?
01:20How do you take care of yourself?
01:21Outdoors as often as possible, cold water.
01:24Trying to do some walks with these guys.
01:26Going to the gym, stuff like that, I like doing that.
01:28Can you pinpoint an age where you found that kind of satisfaction in your life?
01:32That's what I'm saying now, really.
01:33I think this time of life is probably the best I've felt, I think, yeah.
01:37Probably around 50.
01:38Once you get to a certain age, you don't care what other people think.
01:41You don't care if you do something random, because who cares?
01:44It's your life.
01:58I wanted to talk to you about happiness, contentment and satisfaction in life.
02:02Do you feel like you're there with all those three?
02:04Oh, on the way, still a bit further to go.
02:06What changed then?
02:07Life events, just a bit of maturity wisdom.
02:10Is there something that you do, Sue, in your daily life that keeps you really grounded and really calm?
02:14Just being happy and positive, having that positive mindset.
02:23Happiness isn't something we grow out of, it's something we grow into.
02:27And there's so many great things to discover and rediscover on a short break.
02:32With that in mind, I'm off to the spa.
02:38Bye!
