After 50, she began to find her voice and learnt to say “No!” to things in life she did not like and fight for things she supports. Around 50 she went backpacking around the world on her own, on a gap year from working at the BBC for 30 years. Since hitting the big 50 she has run two marathons, climbed the Three Yorkshire Peaks and Mount Mulanje in Malawi.
