This autobiography was undertaken by myself as an experiment in order to test my memory, as over my eighty-five years. I have moved locations frequently and I was not sure where this exercise was to take me. Because the children of my first marriage were whisked away suddenly to England after a bitter Divorce, I missed their young adult times. I subsequently have three natural children and ex Foster Daughter in the UK who were separated from me in their early teens through the divorce and they do not know much of my early life or of my side of the family. Also, my three step children in Australia know little of my early life before I married a second time. Failing all else I feel that this narrative in book form may be hopefully read by all my children when they have time to put away their daily tasks that befall all of us in busy midlife times. My experiences when I was a child and as a teenager and young adult may be of interest to readers and may provoke their own similar memories of similar times. It still intrigues me that mere chance can change anyone’s life forever however apparently trivial. I feel privileged that I have witnessed important world events and have escaped harm and had offspring that I can only hope to know better in my few years maybe left to me.
