Questions from https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/05/22/share-your-world-22nd-may/
- Growing up, were you closer to your mother or father, or was it a balance of both depending on the circumstances?
I was closer to my dad, the typical daddy’s girl. I used to sit and listen to his war stories, and as a child memorised all the WW1 battles, so much so, History at school was my favourite subject. He was always there for me, especially when I finally told him about the bullying I suffered as a child. He died when I was seventeen, it was then I grew close to Mum. We both missed him, in our own way. We did a lot of talking, and we were similar, even if I didn’t want to admit it.
- What was your favourite toy as a child, and do you still have it? One of my favourite toys was a petite, pink typewriter I was brought when I was eight. I was also given a baby tears that year.
- Did you have any secrets? We all do.
- What did you want to be when you grew up, and are you anywhere close? I wanted to be an actress and a singer. I cannot act or sing, so that was never going to happen. I have always wanted to write.

Thanks for joining in Diana. I always wanted a typewriter as a child, but my sister got that, a Petite like yours, and I got a piano accordion……… oh well, the box was the same shape.

Although, great music was played on your accordion. I had a keyboard as a child. It was all the rage at one point.

Mine was a twelve base and I used to take it to school as another girl in my class also had one and we played duets!

You are not old enough for your dad to have been in WW1.

My dad was in his fifties when I was born, and he had an older brother, who was ten years older, so a lot of that was from his viewpoint. My dad was a paratrooper in the second world war, his brother fought in the first world war, underage, when he was sixteen.
