Summary
Let me introduce you to Carrie Reichardt. She's an artist who lives round the corner from me in little old suburban Chiswick. And she has completely covered her home with mosaic so that it's now an eye-popping work of art. When I met her, she did not disappoint. She's refreshingly honest, she's brave and she's a bit bonkers. And she says that as a post-menopausal woman, she now feels more like a teenager than she ever has before.
We talked death row, her mum's ferocious knitting, and being honest with your children about your failings.
Oh yes, and by the way, this one's got a happy ever after ending!

| 1:17.6 | And then when we actually get to talk, they really surprise me. And this is one of those. |
| 1:23.0 | So today's podcast guest is someone called Carrie Wright Card. Now Carrie lives down the road from me. |
