This morning I had a cup of tea with several people who had lots of interesting life stories.  One lady went to RADA many years ago and told us stories about some of the now famous actors; a man told us stories of his travelling in his youth and an amazing escape from death from a wild animal in Africa; and another lady who lived in India during the early 1950s.  All amazing experiences!
They are all retired people now, but love to tell their stories, and I love to listen!
Take care, Lynne
