Listen "Notes on Ageing"
Episode Synopsis
Michael Morpurgo reflects on age as he approaches his 80th birthday.
'The truth is,' writes Michael, 'that older people are increasing in numbers and will very likely continue to do so. This is clear. But the place - or the role - of older people in society is far from clear.' He says in a 'civilised society' we have to find better ways of bridging the gap in understanding between young and old.
