In this week’s View From Over The Hill, broadcasters Miriam O’Reilly and Llewela Bailey disagree over what is joy, are divided on the benefits of mindfulness, but agree on the alarming after effects of eating beetroot.

Miriam O’Reilly is a journalist and former presenter on programmes like Woman’s Hour and Countryfile but is probably best known for taking on and winning an ageism case against the BBC rather than the 28 year award winning career she had there.

Llewela Bailey notched up a career in broadcasting lasting 40 years. Best known for being “the girl off the telly”, she was the main anchor woman for ITV Central News for two decades. Llewela has now hung up her earpiece and enjoys family life as a clapped out mother of several.
