Our place in the sun – Mike and Pip
It started with a holiday on a Greek island.
Now it’s retirement in sunny Spain.
Mike and Pip are emigrating.
He wants to write.
She wants to sketch.
They’ll be doing both in a new country.
What will they miss about the life they’re leaving behind?
The house Mike has lived in since 1946?
The town of Totnes, which has been home for so many years?
Their friends?
Pickles the cat?
Mike and Pip discuss their decision to move, looking forward, letting go and the memories they’ll leave behind.
