My Mum is an author - for the last two nights I’ve read through her first book - ‘And I thought we were rich’ which tells stories about her childhood growing up after the war - focusing on my Grandparents. Its a lovely book, and brings back fond memories of my grandparents - its written for us, for the family and the next generations who will have less and less to fall back on. In an age where so much of life is on blogs, flickr and email, it was really nice to have something solid and important to read. Thanks Mum.
