BEST MOMENTS

“If you think about communication throughout your life. If you think about when you were younger, how would you say…”-Christine. “Shy.”-Granny. “You were shy?”-Christine.

“What would you say were the key skills that you needed to have to be able to do that work?" -Christine. “I suppose just to be a good listener really, first of all. Then to be practical and say, ok, I think this is what we should do.” -Granny

“When people are drunk they don’t actually mean it because they’re just not in the same space you’re in. The wives would come in and they’d blow their top and they’re raging and they want to leave them; ‘Where can I get a good solicitor’ and what should they do? And I’d say ‘Stop. Stop. We’ll go back to the beginning now and think about this.’”-Granny

“Everything you’re saying, it proves to me the reality that we don’t need science, though I enjoy having the backing of scientific evidence to prove all of this stuff.”-Christine

“There’s always one little brat that will have a destructive idea and niggle and niggle at the group. You just have to say to them ‘I know. If you want I’ll talk to you separately after that’s fine but in this group you have to be mindful of other people’s ideas and their feelings.”-Granny

“What?! You’ll put that on a pod? Oh my God!! Christine!”-Granny
