as I walk through  life
caring for others..
in a profession that
hardly receives the credit
due to it..
I realise how it has enriched
the journey I travel..
I have unknowingly met
the most wonderful people,
through incertions upon
their existance,
I met an old lady, that use
to drive her own motor vehicle
in the twenties, because,
her father was rich..
imagine that..women drivers
when the speed limit
was about 10 ml an hour !
Mr. Music...I tiptoed through
the tulips..caring for his
wife, just by photgraphs
and snippits I leaned what
an impression he was on classical
music..and, I met one of
Kenn Dodd's original Sun Beams..
the backing ladies for 
the early years..
she had almost forgot
that she was as star
on Lambeth Stage..
ordinary people
with extra ordinary lives..
I always chat and ask
what they did ..
in the working life..
one Lady was an Officer
in the Roya Navy during the war,
who said,
She and twelve women
were sent to take control
of a German U boat,
to relieve the Captain
of his ship..can you imagine
back in the forties..
the dis honour of that act,
to relieve command to
the enemy, and to women ?
I thought it was magnificent
gesture of triumpth
and should be in a film..
you never know who 
you will encounter,
amongst creative dust..
under the most ordinary
circumstance

Yes it is an honour to work with wonderful people and to let them show you their wonderful pasts.
But it also a blessing for them that they have you around at this time in their lives.
