“I lived in Newbury for about ten years and thoroughly enjoyed walking in the countryside and along the river. I was so fascinated that it went through the town and couldn’t resist feeding the swans and ducks. Retirement came around suddenly, and it was then that I decided to gather all my thoughts I’d stored for a lifetime and write my memoirs.”
