Memories, how to save and treasure them and how to conjure them up when they are feared lost.

When three of Edith Lemay and Sébastian Pelletier's four children were diagnosed with a genetic condition that will eventually leave them blind, they made a bold decision. They set off on a trip around the world to fill their minds with as many beauituful, diverse and surprising images as they could find. The family have so far travelled through three continents, to countries including Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, Turkey, Mongolia and Indonesia. You can follow their trip on Facebook at Le monde plein leurs yeux.

Internationally acclaimed photographer Evgenia Arbugaeva grew up in Tiksi, a tiny port in Arctic Russia. Nearly twenty years after leaving, she went back to see if it was still the idyllic place of her memories. Outlook's Tim Allen talked to her about her work. This interview was first broadcast in 2015.

Lenny White is more commonly known to friends and clients as Lenny the Barber. As you might expect he runs a barber shop but one with a difference — his clients are all elderly men with dementia. Many of them have very little short term memory left and live in the past, so Lenny recreates an old style baber shop to make them feel at home and brings it to them in their care homes in Northern Ireland. He told Jo Fidgen how it works. This interview was first broadcast in 2019.
