Scope and Contents
Topics discussed include: Social contacts; living accommodation; hobbies.
INTVEE is a widow who lives alone in a 3 apartment bungalow where she has lived for 11 years. She knows the neighbours but doesn't have much contact with them. She is not particularly pleased with the house, thinks it is cold. She watches television, does the garden and spends time with her grandchildren.
Interviewer's thoughts: From her tone of voice she thinks the INTVEE feels that life is a bit empty. INTVWER was not invited in and suggests this is because it may upset her acceptance of a rather lonely life.
