I was 2
I lived on a chicken farm in a beautiful old town in France called Saint Veran it had a big arced door with ivy running down the whole house. Well the garden ran out to a big field with oak trees, the front garden had little grass with a sanded path to the front door then a flower arced at the front before you got into the front garden with roses going round the arch with a small wooden gate in the middle of the rose arch
That's sounds amazing
I called it the Snow White cottage
I lived with my mother and father and my 2 older brother and 1 younger one so I knew how to fight for food. Every dinner was like a boxing game, but we loved it. When I was 8 my father past away suddenly we never found out the course but it was hard on all the family my mother the most of all.
Audrey you don't have to tell me this.
No love I want to.
I didn't go to school as my mother couldn't pay for me to go, so when I was 11 I taught myself I got quite good I knew how to read and write and add up that's all you need to know my mother said so by the time I was 16 I got myself a little job at a beautiful French cafe called amour it means love in French. I worked there for 2 years it was amazing I loved it and I never wanted to leave.
But then my brother fell ill so we had to pack up and move to England because the treatment wasn't as good in France at the time after several tests my brother died in the hospital with the same thing my father died from they said it was natural course but I didn't think that. I cried for 3 weeks my youngest brother gone. Oh my Franco! My mother never stop saying that.
Beep beep! It was one of the ladies buzzers sorry Audrey I have to go
It's ok love.
