Down Memory Lane

... Discover Magazine, July/August 2022 edition

A lovely client of mine is writing a biography about her parents, based on their letters to each other which span three continents and as many decades.

I'm working with a new client whose search for her birth parents rivals anything you've seen on Long Lost Family! The story begins with a young woman leaving her new baby in a safe place, then walking away, never to return; it ends with the discovery of over 5000 relatives around the world! I can't wait to see...

I was really excited to receive the proof copy of a very important autobiography commission this week - my dad's! For a nearly 91 year old who told me 'I can't really remember anything much,' we created a fascinating (I might be biased!) 190 page book. So many lovely memories, funny anecdotes and family stories. It all came flooding back to him....

I love going through boxes of old photos, especially at the moment when there's not a lot else going on. I recently found this rare school photo of my mum, from when she was about five or six.
