After her husband of 60 years died 85 year old Winnie Carter needed a lodger to live with her at home.
Ben became that lodger. And then came Covid and the lockdown.
The conversation explores how those Covid lockdown months impacted all of us, especially the old, those alone, and families. And what Ben learnt along the way.
