Living longer and retiring in the sun
James explores the psychological and physical cost of looking after elderly parents and a former Ipswich couple tells James what it's like retiring in the south of France.
Is your mother-in-law your best friend or worst enemy? They've been the butt of jokes for years, but a new survey has found that for seven in 10 women it's no joking matter. They say their mother-in-laws question how they raise their children, molly coddle their sons and spoil their grandchildren too much. So with Christmas fast approaching how do you cope?
As part of our Living Longer series, James hears from a Suffolk man who explains he is only too glad to look after his elderly mum and is enjoying the chance to give something back to the person who cared for him for so many years.
Not many people get to live their retirement in the sun on a long boat. James hears from a former Ipswich couple who said goodbye to the rat race in this country and headed for more peaceful times in France.
