Opis

This book is about surviving all the changes that took place in my life and in the World during the 1960s to 1990s . I had always written letters because when I was young that was the only way to communicate. Telephones were rare and calls were expensive. Invitations, condolences, thank you notes and love letters were all written.After I learned to type I worked in an office and every letter of course had to have a carbon copy. Somehow this stuck and when I married and started moving around I always made carbon copies of my letters.In the beginning I wrote to my parents then my sister and friends and then to my children when they went to boarding school. These communications were all copied and I still have files of letters from far away places all looking rather faded now. They have been a useful tool when my memory failed as it often does but it does mean that if my descendants ever want to check up on me they can discover what life was like for an ordinary woman in 1968 and how hard it was send their children off to boarding school even though by then they saw them every holiday and not once every four years as had been the case a few years earlier.
