About this episode
They say that you continue to live as long as people still talk about you and Heather is still talking about farmer Hannah Hauxwell, subject of several TV documentaries starting with Too Long a Winter from 1972. Google her name and talk about her with someone you know - and Hannah lives on in our memories.
And then as if we planned this (we didn't!), we segue neatly from living on in people's minds to having your own last words remembered. Starting with the idiom we move to actual last words (although some are questionable).
We'll leave you with the assertion that "a woman who can fart is not dead".
