Intro

Dear Reader

I plan to share my journey on this “unexpected diversion”. As I had already started writing an autobiographical account for my children (nothing to do with my recent unsettling news) I may share bits and pieces of that here and there. It will lend a bit of perspective to my life, so far.

Where necessary names will be altered, although I’m sure most characters will be unrecognisable to you as my life journey has taken me over many cities, several continents and quite a few decades.

If you like my writing, laced with Black Adder and a dash of Sparkling Cyanide, please stay with me. If you do not like my style of writing or fighting spirit, please concede defeat and read no more.

This is akin to a battle, a sortie – unexpected, unwelcome and by all accounts medically unforgiving. But it is not of my invitation for I choose my guests more carefully !

I will share with you my ups and downs, I ask to be allowed to make you smile or let you cry. Although we may travel along this road together, it seems I may be compelled to continue to an unwelcome destination. I will do my utmost to avoid that. Of course!
