MY NEW HUSBAND THINKS I LOOK SEXY

Sara wellS, 64, runs her own catering company and lives in leicestershire. She is married to richard, 58, a company director, and has three daughters and six grandchildren. If you’d told me 20 years ago that I’d feel so phenomenal in a bikini I’d never have believed you. I was going through a painful divorce and when I looked in the mirror, I saw a haggard woman who appeared exhausted. There was no question of loving myself in a bikini — I didn’t even like myself fully clothed. But that all changed when I met Richard four years ago through a dating website. he was so attracted to me that it gave me a newfound appreciation for my body — flaws and all. We married two years ago, and are blissfully happy. he lavishes me with compliments, and I defy any woman not to start to feel beautiful if they are constantly told how gorgeous they are. I still take care of myself, too, unlike some women who are my age. I walk everywhere, do the odd sit-up while the kettle boils and make an effort with my hair and my make-up. I’m not perfect, and my skin is less elastic now that I’m getting older, but I cannot wait to slip into my new floral bikini for our upcoming holiday. Why? Because I know that the man sitting next to me will think I’m the most beautiful woman on the beach.
