In this episode Milly and I try and work out how there can be a property boom amongst the chaos of Covid 19.

What do you give someone who's lived a full life and wants for nothing?
In this episode Milly recounts the wonderful experience that can only come with a wicker basket and a lot of hot air. Milly takes us ballooning and we're not sure she ever made it down.
-
Milly's last trip to Australia happened when she was 84. She'd done the trip before but this time 20,000kms took more of a toll than usual. Milly also has the odd brush with authority and manages to talk her way out of trouble.
-
Across Milly's 90 years she had at least one child at home for 39 of them, such was the age gap between Paul, Christopher and Kirsten. And there's one common theme across all 39 of those years. We chat further with Paul and Chris about life with Milly.
-
In seasons three and four you'll remember Milly talking about her boys and her reflections on becoming a parent. Now it's Paul and Chris' turn to give us their take.
What was Milly like as a mum and what was it like growing up?
You'll find their points-of-view similar...and different.
Find out why in this episode of MwM.

Welcome to Season #8 of MwM.
In S8 we explore Milly's 80s. It was in 2013 that one of Milly's oldest and dearest friends - and JC's bestie - moved in with Milly after both of them had lived alone for a number of years. In this episode, Milly introduces us to Tom: gentleman, staunch Labour supporter and fixer of all things.
And happy 17th birthday to Niamh who sings "Sweet Disposition" by The Temper Trap. -
In episode #2 we learn more about Milly's life living with Tom. Both have their health challenges and but find ways to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. When Milly loses Tom she loses more than just a house mate, she loses one of her oldest and dearest friends.
-
In this final episode of S7, Milly and Kirsten discuss Milly's near-death experience (another one) - and the intervention of her family in helping her to bounce back.
Milly also talks about the impact the iPad has had in improving her quality of life in lockdown and with low vision.
Niamh was unable to perform this week's song due to illness so we've reprised one from an earlier episode.
-
In episode seven, Milly remembers with the love and fondness a wonderful year: the 12 months she got to spend with her Australian grandchildren. Milly's enduring relationship with all of her grandchildren is built upon human connection and Milly's unconditional love. You'll feel it in droves in this episode.
Please enjoy...

Episode 6 of this season is a special one. Kirsten joins the conversation to discuss how her 14 month backpacking trip changed her and her relationships with family.

In episode four Milly gets to visit Christopher at work and Paul is off to Kilmany in Scotland to train dogs - lots of them! And Milly is the sort of grandma who's happy to play a foil to Alex's best 007 impersonation but a few things can go missing in the process - all for very good reasons, of course.

In the 2000s there was another pandemic wreaking havoc on the world: it was called SARS. Milly and JC were on their way through Singapore when JC contracted the virus and it had a devastating impact on the family.
-
Living abroad is tough when you're a close family. The 2000s saw Kirsten's family grow and despite the regular visits between continents the loss of JC amplified the tyranny of distance. And so in 2007 Kirsten and her crew packed up and moved over to St Annes-on-Sea for a year to live and work. It was a treasured time for Milly.
