I, like Charles Dickens' 'Tale of Two Cities' am of three cities; well towns at least. Stratford-on-Avon, Vereeniging - South Africa (and now a third as I now live in Stockport - Manchester. I am often torn between the three like so many others whose hearts have lived and settled in more than one place. I hope that my writings from the 'other sides' of my life will affect people in the same manner as my South African writings have.

My earliest memories of Stratford. I was born in the Helen Badger maternity home in Shipston-on-Stour and taken back to Combe Farm on the Banbury Road but don't remember that period.

"...We all need to be remembered..."

And yet one day all memories will fade and no one will remember us and our souls then will be truly free...
