I thought about her yesterday, I’m not sure why. We talked about the hotel in town she and her family (ostensibly her and her parents when they visited from Swansea) used to run that is now boarded up. She was lovely, is lovely and as smiling as ever when we bump into her occasionally in the M&S café I go to draw in. A pretty woman, the sun shines from her like a misty beatific radiance. The hotel always felt safe in her hands, she was unshakeable, professional, steady. She is another woman I would add to my ‘wanted as a mother’ list. No question.
