Two days ago, at a family wedding, remembering Richard, my cousin. He was 11 months younger than me and we were brought up like brother and sister for the first four years of our lives. He died of a brain tumour when he was 55.
After the initial travel ban debacle, I wept with joy at all the good people who came out against this fascistic edict.
I am not a great crier.
I play Classic FM in the car – emotional music brings me to tears thinking about people I’ve loved and lost.
Not being able to have more kids.
A mink coat in 1975 (it was the done thing then). It cost me £5,500.
When my first child was born – something I thought would never happen.
Remaining normal.
Like coming home in every sense.
My sister Arlene, who is 75 and on marriage number seven. I admire her hopefulness.
