The brain drain…..
My mum is 80 – that’s a lot of years really.

My life has turned into an Alfred Hitchcock film. I am a living testimony to Tippi Hedron.
Peaches
My youngest son lives in Fredericksburg Texas. It is a small town, not very exciting for someone his age. It is part of the ‘Texas Hill Country’, which is news to me as I thought Texas was flat!
