There have been so many most of them unpleasant...
Possibly the worst was my husband having a stroke three weeks after our son was born . The stroke left him partially paralyzed and was the result of an injury he initially received when serving in the Army in Northern Ireland.
We lost the business we had just set up and our home.
What did I do, got on with things, first finding somewhere to live . I took the Yellow pages and telephone anyone I thought might have an empty cottage and a wonderful lady who owned an estate in Dorset where we were living at the time had a derelict farm cottage which I rented for some months to give me breathing space.
No one had lived in the cottage for years , I scrubbed every floor with bleach and scythed a path through the knee high grass outside and settled in with my baby visiting my unconscious husband in Dorchester hospital every day.
Things were never the same, now years later I have reached a time of peace at last
