@Lyndon281 Great work. I know this is for your family but don’t hesitate to get advice about putting your recording in a public archive like DHC. Your Mum’s story will be a fantastic legacy for future generations.

Spent many hours with my mum yesterday, finally made a start capturing a lifetime of her memories .. very special day indeed 😊
