The Falklands War was a brief but costly conflict involving British and Argentinian forces between April and June of 1982 over the disputed Falklands Islands - a British territory. In this episode, Milly talks about Chris' near involvement, the armchair perspective of watching the war on the nightly news and the aftermath. 
Thank you for your ongoing support of the MwM podcast and a warm welcome to listeners in the Maldives.

S5 Ep3: The Falklands

Mondays with Milly is a podcast about the past as told by someone who was there. 
Through a series of interviews, "Milly" - AKA Doreen from Manchester - talks about her life from the Great Depression era and World War 2 to the present day. Now in her nineties, Milly is a natural story-teller with a razor-sharp memory. Her recount of a life spanning some of history's defining moments provides a unique insight into how people lived, coped, survived and endured times of great adversity. 
Recorded during the Covid19 era, these online interviews have relevance during uncertain times.

Greetings loyal listeners! 
It's been a while since our last episode but here is our catch-up from Kirsten's recent visit home via Geneva for a flying visit to the World Health Organisation. Niamh performs a beautiful rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Songbird" (requested by a few of you via the MwM Facebook page). Thanks go to "Piano Matt" Heinrich for his work on the keys. Enjoy!

S10 Ep14: From Geneva with Love

How does the coronation of King Charles III compare with those of Elizabeth in 1953 and George in 1937? 


What better way to find out than ask someone who was there for all three, right? In this episode, Milly gives us a great insight into coronation ceremonies past and present and speaks passionately about royalty, family and legacy.

Happy 92nd birthday, Milly!
After a long and frustrating illness, Milly is back doing what Milly does best. This week we cover quite a list of topics: the loss of Sam (aged 102), Kirstens visit from late last year, Christmas, cruises and the thing that Milly loves more than anything - the arrival of family. This year Milly will be hosting a visit from Niamh and after more than three years I’ll be seeing her in August. And I can’t wait!
