I must go back and read from the beginning. I should think all our lives would look pretty tame next to your mum's extraordinary memoir. Still, we mustn't hide our light under bushels - we all have a story to tell and all are equally fascinating. (Note to self: get on with writing my own story!)

It is very often difficult to find folk who can 'till the shoes' and there can be now doubt that your mother had 'large ones'!!! Wonderful that she was able to see it flourish though. A reward in itself. YAM xxYamini MacLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383916589808462620noreply@blogger.com
