For the last couple of days I have been in London, and the most extraordinary moment was when someone wanted to talk to me about my late father….they recognised my name. It took me a back because in a way I had forgotten how he had touched other people during his life. As time pass […]
In the UK we are celebrating mothers day and I am so happy to say that I have my mum in my life. She is off cruising at the moment around the carribean - not that I am jealous or anything!
