My family was ‘jumbled up’
Rachel Stone's family holidayed with the neighbours in Wales - and returned as ‘mixed up’ families.
It’s the 1970s, and 5-year-old Rachel is on her way back from a blissfully happy caravan holiday in Wales with her Mum, Dad, older brother Ian and the next-door neighbours.
But something happens on that holiday. Something that will change everybody’s life forever. When the families travel home, everything is, in Rachel’s words ‘jumbled up’.
Rachel Stone tells her story to Life Changing’s Dr Sian Williams, live at the Hay Festival on the Welsh border.
Producers: Tom Alban and Sarah Shebbeare
