DescriptionInterview with Mrs Margaret Gray and her husband Jack Gray, from Newcastle. Margaret Gray talks about guiding her husband when they go out, the ways they deal with tensions, how he navigated around a holiday home in Holland and his methods of navigating around their own house and garden. She talks about them not having many blind friends, following television serials together, having changed her own attitude towards sight and dependence on her eyes through her marriage, and not being able to share views of the landscape with him. She discusses their shared sense of humour and talks about the differences between her marriage to Jack and her first marriage (tracks 1-4).

Jack Gray talks about his relationship with his wife, the breakdown of his previous marriage after he lost his sight and his estrangement from his children. He discusses cases where couples have separated through loss of vision and others where it has brought couples closer together (tracks 5-6).
