"The radio told me the offspring of the mentally ill are creative, perhaps introverted and/or anti-social. In 1961 my schoolgirl paintings were shown on Â鶹Éç TV. Even A level biology botanical drawings and dissection sketches were fun! Woman's Hour accompanied my sewing, dressmaking, cooking and decorating. The Today programme and Home Truths gave me thoughts to mull over while gardening and occasionally provided themes for my primary teaching of Drama and Religious and multicultural education. Now a novice painter, no longer stimulating Art, I'm entertained, in touch, learning all the time with subjects to chat about."
