We stayed at a bed and breakfast. You go up Oakville Road and that splits – if you take the down road it actually goes to the arches by where the Woodman Pub was; you probably won’t know it, but that’s where the car broke down under those arches and someone told us about this bed and breakfast.

I like the countryside, but at that time my feeling was as a tourist. But, I like the beauty of the countryside. I had no idea what life would be like in the countryside.

As a teacher, I teach German as a foreign language in Adult Education and in private language schools, but mainly I do translation work. I started doing that when I returned to Germany, so I’ve been doing that for 19 years.

I was born at Halifax Infirmary on the 10th of August 1952, and I lived initially on the Banksfield Estate, which was a prefabricated council estate, very desirable at the time because it had an inside toilet - two of them - and it actually had a bathroom; you didn't have to use a tin bath. All of the terraces in Mytholmroyd at that time still had outside toilets and the like, so a lot of people were pushing for these.

Well I was born in the valley. My mum was as I say, she worked in the fashion industry, she was in London. She was the oldest of a family of…what…..four girls, two boys and…..the war came and they got bombed.
