Not a very good human being. Waited till she was hours from death to say sorry, by which time it was too late for me to go visit. Sadly (or should I say happily?), we can choose our friends but not our families....

My mum was a dress/costume maker and freelanced through the 60’s and 70’s for the BBC and made 6 costumes every week for Pans People (Top of the Pops dance troupe if you were unaware)
