Indulge me please - how old do I look to you?

People tell me (unprompted) I don't look my age but I'm never sure whether they are being polite or if not what age they think I am. How old would you have said I look? My pic is on my profile and I'm wearing tinted moisturizer if that helps.

I think having a big age gap between me and DH makes me a bit conscious about it Blush

Caramel, where is yours!?

Madame - I think you look the same age as me or a bit younger- I'm 42 (thanks for guessing at 35 for me even though it was a small photo - made my day!).

Gosh
We {dh and I} were discussing only last night how the shit that life has thrown at us has aged us and isn't it lucky we have both been battered by it equally.

I'm 30 though was 29 at the time of the pics. My only defence was we were camping

Off to tweeze my beard

Hope I look as good as you in 10 years (I'd have to improve!)
