Lisa’s gentle story covers a whole host of subjects, I think of special interest will be her chosen career as a Humanist Celebrant. Her chat with me about depression, which is often a misunderstood and underestimated condition, will, I am sure, be a comfort to others in the same position. School days, gardening and laughing are also a part of Lisa’s story.

Please take into consideration when listening to these interviews that the meaning of language changes over time and that interviewees have not intended to cause offence by anything said which now may be thought to be unacceptable.

Recording this social history, chatting to different people about a whole host of subjects has been a real pleasure, such an interesting and I think worthwhile project for people to listen to both now and in years to come.
