Life can be stranger than fiction is how the saying goes.<br />When I was 16 I read Gone with the Wind’. I think that would be my favourite fiction of all my life. I am not so keen on autobiography’s as people usually like to put a good spin on things. <br />After I married my family had to move north to care for a slowly dying relative. From 1962-65 my dad wrote to me every day as he knew how I missed them. I have kept every one. What a joy it is to read a few occasionaly. He died soon after that but as I read them I can hear him talking. He was such a great writer and wonderful man. A hero at Gallipoli.sallyhickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05154172122165110756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578015486259796052.post-26799857295704675172018-07-11T04:01:28.280+12:002018-07-11T04:01:28.280+12:00I don’t care for characters who are, for the most ...I don’t care for characters who are, for the most part, intelligent, but then do something stupid without reason.
