As a film of Raynor Winn’s bestselling memoir The Salt Path is released, we follow in her footsteps along the Cornish section‘I want to tell you something. I have a stage 4 brain tumour, and I don’t know how long I have left.” When fellow walker Peter utters these words to me at the Minack theatre in Porthcurno on Cornwall’s south coast, I half think he might be reading lines for a new play. Behind him, the waves are dancing, while mist swirls on the wind as though spooling from a smoke machine.It had only been an hour since I first met him and his wife, Michelle, as we all took shelter from the freezing wind in a hut at nearby Gwennap Head.

I think back to my 20-year-old self and my sister, lost in her imagined worlds, and I feel compassion for us bothWhen my sister was 21, she was diagnosed with dementia. She had survived a malignant brain tumour diagnosis when she was 10, but her cancer was inoperable and sat directly on her hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory formation.My sister moved in and out of what I would call “reality”. She spent days talking to people I couldn’t see, laughing at jokes I couldn’t hear. I would cajole her into playing Scrabble with me, and after a couple of hours she might say something “normal”, like, “How are you, Jackie?” She just needed mental stimulation, I would think. If I could play Scrabble with her every day, she would come back to me. Continue reading...

Lads didn’t go around crying.”Tell us: has your life taken a new direction after the age of 60? Continue reading...
