It tells not only about the very interesting times she had as an army wife traveling to different countries, but also the hardships of bringing up three small children while her husband was away on active service in the Far East and Northern Ireland and the many army exercises he took part in. The trials of being an army wife were quite demanding, and moving in and out of caravans and army quarters were challenging. Their three children were born in the UK, all in different counties as they moved around. She eventually settled down into civilian life, but that, too, had its challenges of changing from one culture to a totally different one. Both she and her husband still had the urge to travel, and they visited many different places, each with its own unique story to relate. Many of them are written in this book.
Now slowing down a little, she has grandchildren and great-grandchildren on the scene, but all are loved and cherished. And perhaps in later years, they will see how they lived life in 1962 and the present day.view less
