  2. Hi I saw your article about over 80’s my mum is in her 80′ s played tennis several times a week before the lunacy.
    She often thrashes folk way younger than her. She walks miles every day.. Gardens very inspirational person.
    Mum lives in Bakewell which is fairly close to you I believe.
    Let me know if you want to speak with mum..
    All the best for your project

  4. I believe you are looking to photograph remarkable people who are over 80 years old. I consider my 90 year old mother to be remarkable. Born in East Africa where she lived and went to school and returned to with my father once they were married, and where my 2 brothers and I also lived until Kenya’s independence in 1964. She has an indomitable spirit, swims, goes to the gym, walks & gives talks at her retirement village, not far from where I live. Her mind is sharp, she is an avid reader and is determined to live a full, active life.

    • Hi Linda, Thanks so much for your message and for telling me about your mother and her life so far. I am still reading through the fantastic stories I’m receiving and will be in touch soon. Laura

  5. The Hidden Depths project – my Dad will turn 86 in June & my mum is 83 they have lived in the same house since they married which was a new build then & celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary (60) last year. For his 80th birthday him and all the family climbed Catbells near Keswick in the Lakes at his request (special family location). He has always sang in choirs and has performed many solos including at weddings (not for money!). They are an inspiration to me and all the family and he is now the carer for my mum who broke her spine & hip in recent years! Not sure if this is the kind of thing you are interested in but thought I’d message just in case. Kind regards Ruth x
