A Year at 50
\n<\/strong>Streeten began this series of cartoons after turning 50 as a way of reflecting on the day to day experience of life as an older woman. Hounded by the same old questions and dilemmas, as well as a few new ones, the cartoons document family life. These are based on Nicola\u2019s own family, including husband John, teenage daughter Sally and Holly the dog RIP.
