Jenni Murray presents a look at creating art on a 1950s knitting machine, a 500-mile pilgrimage alone, the impact of selling a family home and the attractions of a vegan lifestyle.

In the fourth of our Listener Week programmes we talk to listeners Hannah Phoebe Bowen and Lunda Kinnard about what attracts them to their vegan lifestyles.

70-year old Woman's Hour listener Maggie de Vos recalls how she walked 500 miles across Spain on a pilgrimage from Pamplona to Santiago. She self-published her diary 'Santiago at Seventy', and tells Jenni what motivated her to set out alone.

As part of our series Women in One, reporter Abigail Hollick asks a woman and her husband sitting on a bench by Albert Dock in Liverpool about bringing up their children.
