Radio Interview: BBC Woman's Hour - My Best Day

On 13th September 2019, Diane was featured on the BBC's iconic radio programme, Woman's Hour. The piece was entitled "My Best Day" and was in response to a request for listeners to select a photograph that 'captured them at their best'.

Diane's offering was the image shown above, which she feels epitomises her travels around Tibet, and the many friends that she has there.
