The joy of family. Belonging.
I am the fifth of six children and I have a great sense of belonging. Now this family lives in eight different countries as we all grew up travelling. My daddy worked mending the engines so we all had free and cheap railway travel. We used to visit our cousins in Dublin, in Ballyfermot, then the biggest housing estate in Europe, Lennoxtown, near Glasgow and our English ones in Leicester.
My "early years" is quite a story.

I am in Welwyn Garden City, Herts.
Did I tell you my relations were The Bolands at 30, Holyknowe Road and the Russels at number 20.
They have all left there now but one Russel still lives in Scotland.
