By Rob Green. In spite of her mother, kindly Brenda is still hoping to find her Rock. Read by Jill Gascoine.

Jill Gascoine gives a funny and touching performance as Brenda, in Rob Green's specially written short story. 

Brenda is a kind, careworn woman of uncertain years who has been caring for her demanding old Mother for most of her life. But Brenda's a romantic and she's still hoping that her own life might begin sometime, somehow. 

She'd love to find her 'Rock'. Perhaps Tom, a porter from the local hospital, could fit the bill? Not if Mum has anything to do with it. Hang on, though, does Mum have a hidden agenda?
