A shocking event whilst the author was still a toddler, damaged her childhood irrevocably. Later on and still a young child, she lost hearing in one ear.

Many memories are recalled which bring the reader back into the nineteen fifties and sixties.

Born in a small village in the North of England the author came of age and made a life changing decision. Partly to feel more safe with her life, but mainly at the time, to improve her mental wellbeing.

She moved to a small market town called Hitchin. A place that she loved immediately and always returned to even when life pulled her away.

Leisure time became much more enjoyable.

A week on a sailing yacht to travel the coastline of France, whilst not knowing how to swim, is amusingly described.

She found love and married a local man, they were blessed with two children.

Sadly, life was very up and down and a move to Ipswich and Stowmarket ended miserably. Her husband was not to be trusted and she returned to Hitchin after a couple of years, with her marriage falling apart.

The author describes a second phase of her life now with her beloved Laurie. A gentle but adventurous man, she recounts his time in Africa, time spent on oil rigs in the North Sea, and their own holidays spent in Bandung, Bali and Malta.

They were married for thirty one years and after Laurie lost his battle with cancer, it took another sad year to sell their company and their home. Hitchin became a sad place and so another move to Staffordshire took place.

The author reflects on her childhood and explains who Jane Marshall is, thanks to her father.

Five and a half years later, having endured the pandemic, like so many others, she returned to Hitchin.

Her many friends and memories of all of her canine friends will sustain her going forward.
