Potted biog

I was born in Hastings, Sussex near the beginning of February and it was snowing the day I was born (so I’ve been told.) My schooldays began in Hastings and continued in various parts of London during the war. Was back in Hastings in 1945 and dancing round Winkle Island in the old town on VE night.
I’m married to Leon and we have two daughters and five grandchildren. Oh yes, and two cats. We live in Selsey, in Sussex now and love it here. Apart from family and friends my greatest interests are writing, reading, walking (on the flat), music hall, Victorian jewellery, Sussex stories and going to the theatre.
When we lived in Wiltshire I started the Warminster Writers’ Circle and this has now been active for twenty years. It grew bigger and better after I moved! This is a picture of some of the members when they come to Selsey to visit for their annual summer party.
I also started the Selsey Writers’ Circle a few years ago and here are some pictures of that also. It looks as if we are always partying instead of writing, doesn’t it, but I assure you that when we are all working hard I don’t have the camera handy to record it.
Selsey Writers’ Circle hosted a Meet The Authors afternoon during the Selsey Festival on August 9th 2006. Twenty one authors attended this very successful event and we hope to stage another this year.
I hope you will enjoy visiting, reading the books, (or borrowing them from the library) and come again. It is a wonderful opportunity for authors and readers to ‘meet’, isn’t it? You can contact me on capri@stampless.co.uk
