In the second of my two programmes on age gap friendship I interview my friend Carol, who is seventy three years old to my fifty seven. She talks about her time as a nurse at St Barts in London, moving to the USA on an exchange programme in her teenage years and what life has taught her.

While Nancy is at the stage in her life where it’s all before her and all to play for, Carol has reached the stage where she is in a hospice. Whereas with Nancy, I talked about how are relationship compares to that she has with her mum, this programme talks about how Carol’s conversations with me differ from those she has with her daughter and how midlife women connect the generations.
