In 1959 I married aged 19 so at the age of 25 I was in the thick of having babies and looking after young children. Back then, in the Fifties, sex was not discussed in public, and sex was for producing babies.

The Piano Lesson
Since I was a little girl I have been interested in all forms of movement and music. I badly wanted to learn Piano to be able to play music. However, my strict father would not give me the opportunity to take lessons, nor be persuaded to buy me a piano. I must have been 6 or 7 when my best friend Wendy began regular piano lessons. I was very jealous and keen to play that I would call for her immediately after her piano lesson to “come out to play”. With an ulterior motive I would persuade her to take me into her house so she could teach ME what she had just been taught! This arrangement was not a success.
Winter Skin Care
The skin on your face can suffer and feel quite uncomfortable in the wintertime and unfortunately as we age the problem seems to get worse. Caring for skin, particularly facial skin is vital during the wintertime. Men and women need protection from extreme temperatures, both the exposure to cold winds and rain, and the heat and dryness of fires and central heating.
Silicone Falsies
Recently I received a letter from a lady thanking me for writing a frank and honest account of my experience with breast cancer.
Surviving Skin Cancer
Dr Vaughn Jones wanted to try the least invasive treatment first. She prescribed a cream called Efudix, which singles out cancer cells and kills them. It is very powerful and its effects are horrible. My patch became weepy and nasty. I started wearing trousers all the time to hide my legs, which is not like me at all. I’ve always been rather proud of my legs and enjoyed showing them off. I feel more elegant and confident in a slim skirt when I’m speaking or at meetings.
