She does more outdoor activities since her heart attack.

 



Now, five years later, I'm probably healthier than I ever was. I do a lot of power walking now. I'm a lot fitter now; I climbed Ben Nevis, whereas five years ago I used to smoke. I wasn't big and fat, but I don't suppose I was into keep fit - not into keep fit, but into exercising. 

We didn't do as much exercise as what we do now. We didn't go on bike riding holidays. We go camping now, and we go bike riding holidays. We do a lot of walking, where I suppose we did a lot of driving. We do things we'd never done. We do a lot of mountain climbing.
