Thank you for reading - and listening! - Kate. And yes, I think we can forget that our body often sends us signals of its own.

Also yes - I really enjoy listening to other people's audios!

Loved hearing your voice Lauren - especially as I feel I have got to know you a little bit - lovely to hear how you sound too! I also want to create a voiceover but not got enough time or microphone yet. I also keep meaning to watch that Blue Zones documentary - interesting to read your thoughts on this. I think being sunny and fairly chill places must also be a part of even developing the desire to experience life on earth a bit longer. Or that is maybe my jaded take. :)

Thank you for listening Catriona, and that is lovely to hear! 😊

The voiceover did take longer than expected - but I didn't want to overthink things on the tech side, and did it using my laptop mic, so worth a go if you're interested.

Ooh hope you enjoy when you get to it - but yes I agree, sunnier climes make happier lives? One might think!

Loved this Lauren ❀️ Nice hearing your voice too, now you're doing more audioπŸ‘The oldest people I've ever met were a sweet old couple, around 98 years old... in a poor countryside village in Vietnam, where it immediately struck me how bright and happy they all were! πŸ˜ƒ

Living in huts with hardly any belongings and crouching over a fire to cook, the couple were still full of life, beaming with joy and still very able and with it. 😊

I really do believe the key to a long life is a calm and gentle pace, contentment and joy. Something this inspiring couple had in abundance. I will never forget the nearly-toothless grins from that day, filled with such joy and contentment, in a random village deep in the Vietnamese countryside 🧑
