That night whilst in bed sipping her coffee, Rebecca began to make rough sketches on her note pad. She knew what she wanted to create but getting her designs exactly right was proving to be a problem. She worked through to the dawn sketching and changing...
My great grandfather Noah Silverman is the founder of our family business. From humble beginnings, we are now a worldwide corporation with factories in seventeen countries. Noah arrived in the east end of London at the time that Jack the ripper was stalki...
I missed Andrew rather a lot he was my first carer and the man who showed me certain things, which gave me the confidence to self-pleasure, for the first time in my life. Sadly it will be many years before we meet again. His replacement Belinda was more t...
I had been at the garage for almost ten years and was in my early sixties. The garage had become my second home, and also the place that unblocked certain problems that I had in my head. I could never understand why the young mechanics could possibly have...
From a very young age, it was obvious that there was a serious problem with my vision. The eye specialist made it quite clear that I would almost certainly be blind within a few years. I had high hopes of a career in journalism, but that idea was never go...
I lived in a tiny flat above the town's bakers shop. My husband ran away with his fancy woman years ago. Needless to say when his money run out she left him. I was fifty-four years old and had just about given up on life, and I hadn't had a job for over t...
I met Linda at Cambridge University during my first month as an undergraduate. We were both on the same course, which was business studies and economics. We had practically nothing in common, yet there was a most welcoming feeling from her of warmth and f...
For several days, the villages toiled from dawn to dusk, building something almost next to my hut. Maria was clearly excited by the development. Joe had only been gone three days, yet it seemed like ages. There was a commotion going on in the village earl...
The only thing that I ever wanted to be was a nun. I was eighteen when I entered holy orders at the convent in Kilkenny. There were twelve nuns already well established and I was the first new novice in four years. I found only one thing. An intense feeli...
Things with my husband had gone from bad to worse. He had even started having nights away from home. Did he have a fancy woman somewhere? I did wonder. But he did not. Quite by chance, a friend whom I went to school with saw him in a little country pub. H...
I had been at the home for about three years when I was called into the manager's office. A long time carer had decided to retire. Although I had helped out during the difficult times, I was not a carer. She looked at me over her glasses. Then the unthink...
I never married for love but for security and status. When my brother and I were at school, he would sort out any boys that laughed at me because I was a midget. He would wait for them at the school gates and give them a hiding. I rather liked watching hi...
On my twenty-first birthday, I married Sir Peter Hargreaves. We must have looked comical when we stood at the altar. I was four-feet, seven-inches (but taller in high heels) and he was just over six feet. I was attending a seminar with my normal-sized bro...
I was fortunate enough to secure a position as the night porter at a home for elderly well to do Jewish people. I was the only non-Jewish person in the place. I was twenty-three when I started my new job. My duties were limited to nothing more than securi...
When George and his wife Pamela were about to leave the estate he slipped a £20 note into my hand and smiled. I rather liked being paid for allowing certain things. You could say that it was a good arrangement for us both. I liked George he was well educa...
