This book is a tribute to my dear mum, no longer with us but always in our hearts. She was a wonderfully caring mother in every way. She brought up two little girls, sheltering us through the bombings and dark days of the war, going without herself and always putting us first.
Thank you to my daughters Barbara Toplis and Rosie Buckle for their encouragement.
Special thanks to all those who made the book possible.
