This story is a work of fiction and so are the characters within it.

For Brenda Cartwright, mother, wife and grandmother,

to whom we said goodbye this Autumn.

It’s all English to me

––––––––

A word on the language that’s used in this book, so you know what to expect. The version of English that is used here is British. This ought not to present much in the way of a problem for non-British readers. If you do find the occasional word or phrase a little odd, then I hope you still understand the essence of what is being said.
