This was the snippet she red: My love affair with both life and words began in 1969, when Fashion Magazine paid me the goodly sum of £25 to write an article about travel. Other articles followed and from these humble beginnings came children's books, full of rib-tickling humour and scintillating action.
However, my desire to wax lyrical about the absurdity of life remained and whilst journeying by train to some far distant school or to a signing at Waterstones, I began scribbling down my thoughts. Blogs, anecdotes and short stories followed. Now, of an age to remember the past, I thought, why not? There has to be heaps of people around like me. Well, not exactly like me but near enough to enjoy and remember how life once was.
