Show Notes

John talks to JUDITH MITCHELL who was born very premature in Liverpool, grew up in Wirral and from an early-age, had to live with deafness. With little hearing, Judith has had to learn to lip-read and use hearing aids and attend special schools, and was involved with special Wirral clubs for the deaf. Despite her disabilities, she trained in Derby and Newcastle to become a fully-qualified Fashion Designer. Now back in Bebington, Judith has added Florist and Child Care to her qualifications. Judith tells of having to contend not only with disability, but also with loneliness, bullying and domestic abuse. She also talks of coming into Christian faith, as the result an unexpected 'vision' one day, out in Jordan,  where she was baptised ... and she now happily worships at a Wirral church with her young daughter.
