This is The Guardian.

Hi, it's Helen here. Happy New Year. Today, in Focus, we'll be back with new episodes

tomorrow, but for now, we are revisiting some of our favorite episodes from last year.

Feel strange saying that last year.

Today, we wanted to bring you our look back at 10 years of same-sex marriage in England and Wales,

hearing from couples, members of the church and politicians about what that milestone meant to them.

We hope you enjoy it. From jet engines to space rockets, telephones to computers, the world has seen spectacular change in the last hundred years, and the pace of progress is getting faster and faster. From electric cars to the metaverse, drone deliveries to climate solutions and genetic sequencing.

We're investing in the companies that are not just changing the world today, but are also shaping the future.

The Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust, managed by Bailey Gifford. Invest in Progress, Capital at Risk.

Hello. Hello. Hello. Lovely to meet you. Did you get down okay? I'm in Eastbourne on the South Coast to meet Tracy and Lisa.

They live in this beautiful arts and crafts flat overlooking the sea

with their two cats and a budgie called Lala Lulu Susie.

What are your favourite things about each other?

I fell in love with Lisa's voice that just drew me to her.

Not just an accent, it's just there's something about the tone of your voice.

I know it sounds really strange.

But I can pick Lisa's voice out in a crowd anywhere.

And for me, it was just Tracy's laugh, really, which you can also hear in the crowd.

We're a real partnership and I think that's a real strength. If I've got a problem or a difficulty,

I think saying for Lisa, you're the first person I would talk to and share it with.

Yeah.

But we're also not in each other's pockets.
