I started following you when I saw your snippets about your beloved Aunt Monica. I’m living in the Middle East, and as soon as your book was published, I ordered it!! Brilliant, to say the least!

The Aunt tweets were a shining beacon thru a dark time. She deserved her late life fame for giving us a reason to laugh.

Seems a lifetime ago. Covid threw everything out of kilter.

clarshar.bsky.social•104 days ago

The tweets kept us all going during Covid Helen, Aunt Monica reminded me of what was best in people , also of my Mum and her friends , the love of Arnotts and how they used to meet up on Saturday for the coffee and bun there. All now sadly gone but we are left with great memories

clarshar.bsky.social•104 days ago

And I do revert to my copy of The Stairlift Asends from time to time .. May Monica and all those wonderful people who have gone before us RIP.
