Judy Bailey: former newsreader and broadcaster embraces ageing and evolving in new book Evolving: Finding Health and Happiness As We Age - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

It's been almost 20 years since former newsreader Judy Bailey read her last bulletin- and she's been taking part in several causes and campaigns since.

The former 'Mother of the Nation' has recently been busy helping people to embrace aging through her new book Evolving: Finding Health and Happiness As We Age.

Judy Bailey says reaching an older age can be an 'uncomfortable' experience if you let it happen- so it's important to prepare and plan.

"When you turn 65, people tend to treat you as though you might be a bit vulnerable and frail and a bit doddery, maybe. We tend to be be the target of either retirement village ads or ads for incontinence pads... and we have at least three good decades ahead of us."
