It’s 2021. I expect I’ll be wearing my pandemic hairstyle for a while yet, at least until vaccinations are well underway.

Despite it all, I remain a busy grandmother with a life centred around my extended family and the vast number of projects that fill my days.

These pages speak of the world around me: some family history, my own story, and the incredible cultural and global changes that are swirling around us right here, right now.
