Grandma was an indomitable lady who was midwife, nurse and confidante to the whole village of Necton in Norfolk from before the first World War until the coming of the National Health Service in 1948. [...] She was a fund of stories and when she began with, ‘That time o’ day…’, she wasn’t talking about hours and minutes but times gone by and I knew there was a story coming. [...] It was only a short step from listening to stories of times past to reading about them and then to writing my own, though success in writing took some years, a lot of hard work and dogged persistence.
