BBC Radio 4 - Door Stepping, We're Getting a Mortgage

Things are getting serious for Jude Rogers as she makes the decision to buy her first home

An old plumber's workshop with ceiling hooks and no toilet door – Jude Rogers revisits the first home she bought. From 2017.

Things are getting serious for Jude Rogers as she makes the decision to buy her first home in the London suburbs - its where she will get married from, have her first child, and she only moved out last year... its an emotional moment as she returns to the first home she bought. 

"It's amazing how powerful smell is. Instantly, I see my son as a baby, scuttling across the wooden floor in his walker. I expect my husband to walk through from the kitchen. I hear a cat's footsteps upstairs, and stop calling out for our cat, Poppy. She lived here for three years, and died, at 15, last summer."

Producer: Sara Jane Hall

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2017.
