Elder Tales are conversations with older people in my community, people who have life stories that should be heard. These are not particularly unusual or extraordinary folk, rather they are the type of people we can meet every day, and yet we too often don't have the opportunity to hear their stories and the life experience and wisdom they contain.
This podcast is an opportunity to hear some of their stories through the relationship I have and the generosity they offer.
It was delightful to sit with June and Godfrey and enjoy witnessing their affection for each other whilst sharing emotionally charged and vulnerable stories from their lives – stories which have embedded painful as well as joy-filled memories for them which motivate June and Godfrey to make the most of each day they have together.

"I'm on FIRE!"
This remarkable woman is an inspiration. Her sparkling enthusiasm and passion for life is coloured with experiences of trauma, danger, courage, adventure, generosity, a commitment to family values and caring for the vulnerable in her community, and a desire to centre this on her faith and share her life learnings with others. In her 86th year of life Willy describes herself as ‘on fire’ and one senses this nugget of a treasure is being refined for still more precious contributions to those fortunate enough to be touched by her.
