"Thought for today:
"Today is the anniversary of my mum's birthday. She died when she was barely 64 years old. She was perhaps the best story teller I ever knew and loved life to the full with a wicked side to her that was simply forgivable. I feel sure that it was her influence over my growing imagination as a child when she spoke about the nuns that taught her that confirmed me in the role of author and not that of priest. Indeed, many of the stories in the 'Tales from Portlaw' section of my website use the germ of a story that my mother told me when I was growing up and which I have embellished as a writer of Irish descent. http://www.fordefables.co.uk/tales-from-portlaw.html I love you Mum. Your eldest Billy xxx." William Forde: January 24th, 2013.
