Book excerpt: This is my story as the love-child of an Australian soldier and an English nurse, living in war-torn London in the 1940s, before travelling to Australia on a boat, where her mother fell in love with a Welshman, married him and had five more children. The story reveals a passion for horses, which leads to an association with two “dirty old men” and running away from home. But instead of turning into a delinquent, I went to university and trained to be a high school teacher. Although an unfortunate love affair with a married man led to a car crash, an unwanted pregnancy, an eventual marriage and the birth of two sons. Tragedy struck, with the loss of both boys. Continuing to work, saved my sanity, and after retirement, I continued teaching Line Dancing to seniors. My long-time friend and later lover, supported me through difficult times, married me and we travelled the world. Finally, I took my mother back to London, by plane this time, to appear on Cilla Black’s television show “Surprise Surprise”, where she was reunited with her twin brother, whom she hadn’t seen for fifty-four years.
