Book excerpt: From the London Blitz of 1940 through to the present day, the author takes us on a very personal journey through her childhood in dwindling parts of the Empire, does anyone remember Aden, Northern Rhodesia and Basutoland? Personal reminiscences of these countries also include some historical tit-bits. On to teenage romances then into the complexities of marriage(s). Worldwide travels follow encompassing flying boats, cruise liners, mokoros and Cessnas. After such an exciting and peripatetic life it is a wonder that she can settle down to retirement - she can't! At an advanced age her journey continues at the University of Oxford with the studying that she abandoned in her teens and we are introduced to the various erudite, but nevertheless interesting, subjects that fill these later years.
