What Were We Talking About?
by Cherie Gaites
I’m Cherie, and this is my mum, Annie. We’ve been best friends for most of our lives. We’ve travelled together, seen countless shows, had plenty of adventures and talked about just about everything. Mum is living with a number of health issues, including dementia, which only became part of our story very recently. Each week we’ll have a proper chat about what’s happening in our lives, the world, family, memories, things that make us laugh and things that annoy us. No script, no editing. Just us, as we are, for an hour each week.
