I'm Holly Gibbs.

Until next time, goodbye.

I'm Holly Gibbs, and in this edition, we meet Dave and Andrea.

She made a promise to her mum when she was six that she'd find me.

And I remember our mum looking over my shoulder as she was hugging me through the tears, saying, you kept your promise.

Out of anybody that I know, I would have chose you to be my brother.

They became friends at work, only to find out they are actually brother and sister.

Also on this podcast, the 82-year-old woman who challenged the law to bring happy hour to her assisted living facility.

I was very happy, excited that I had a part in it.

And I hope that I can motivate others, especially seniors,

Plus, why walking could be the secret to the happiness of Dutch children.

They run up and down the routes.

They sing songs, marching songs, scouting songs.

The children are always fantastic.

One of our listeners tells us about his adventures challenging policymakers on plastic pollution from his surfboard.

Dave and Andrea met by chance when they both worked in the north of England.

They became friends and bonded over their similarities.
