Growing older has a way of reminding us that our biggest regrets are often the questions we never asked, the chances we never took, and the moments we assumed we'd always have.

From never asking Mum, Dad or your grandparents about the lives they lived before you knew them, to the career choices, risks and relationships that shaped your own story, this is a conversation about the regrets that come with growing older.

Step into almost any suburban home of the 70s and 80s and you'd find faux wood panelling, velour wallpaper, toilet roll dolls and enough earth-tone colours to camouflage a tank. It might look ridiculous now, but somehow it still feels like home.
