The absolute biggest regret in my life is not having children. They were in my life plan from the days when I was a teenager and used to look after my young cousins during summers at my grandparents seaside home, wonderful times that spawned my love of children, seaside living and walking miles every day.

Just my bad life planning and timing I guess, even way back three or more decades ago there were reasons starting a family young was difficult for the average person. Nowadays in the UK young families are for the privileged few, the UK is well and truly broken.

I'm a great believer things happen for a reason, I love my life despite not being blessed with children.
