Having excellent conversations with people I've never met who live in places I'll never visit.

IVF in all its many forms

Gay marriage and the many other relationship variations now taken for granted

Being a grandmother.

Sitting typing words on a small screen held in my hand.

Catch up TV.

How about stringing together a few things that during our childhood/youth times we would never believe the things that are happening today.

To start off here are a few:

1. Following, to the letter, an American book on how to bring up your new baby.

2. Children being the tail to wag the dog.

3. Giving children their choice of food at all meal times.

4. Grandparents having no value except being childminders and inheritance providers.

5. The school term/half term holidays' work evacuation.

Just the tip of the iceberg - enjoy.
