Dear Miss Shelswell

10 February 2017 Factual - Journalism


What do you think when you look at someone much older than you? Do you ever think about what lies beyond the frail body, the shuffling gait? You probably imagine their quiet life, mostly lived within the four walls of their home.  You might imagine loneliness, the end of a life that is spent waiting for time to pass.  But do you ever wonder about who they have been, what shape their life has taken, how they’ve impacted the world around them? Follow an elderly woman around her house as she gives us an insight into her world as it is now and as it has been in the past.
