I met my second husband on a bus. We looked at each other and that was it. We were both married to other people at the time and behaved badly, but we didn't seem to have any choice. We were very happy for nearly 50 years and would still be together if it wasn't for the bloody railways. ↗

I was literally the black sheep of the family, and there were definitely moments of discomfort while my grandmother was working through her racism. ↗

Having Zoe saved my life. It was my wake-up call. There were so many things I didn't want to pass on to her. ↗

The Cosby years were a major part of my life, but it is the past; I don't really concentrate on it. ↗
