An interactive talk about the power of touch in our lives, and how our senses help bring memories to the fore. We tend to think about reminiscing as something older people do, but in fact we do it throughout our lives, at all ages. When we add the chance to touch something that inspires a memory into the mix, reminiscing can be a very powerful and positive experience.
This talk will include a range of artefacts to explore, from Box Brownies to Bakelite light switches, and the chance to reminisce.
Please note I’m based in Hampshire and can also work from the Scottish Borders. Due to travel costs I’m unlikely to be able to travel for more than an hour from Romsey or Winchester in Hampshire, or Galashiels in the Borders.

Today I work under the name Museums and More to reflect the variety of clients in my portfolio. As well as speaking to groups, I deliver a range of freelance work for museums and heritage sites and lead artefact-inspired reminiscence with older people. I also deliver regular freelance work for three rural charities, taking disadvantaged children to farms to learn about food for one, arranging delivery of learning events around natural science & land management for another, and working as communications manager for the third.
