ANTHEA

Alice’s oldest friend. Gave her so much, not least music, not least David Bowie. Books, books, books, the love of reading. Attitude, feminism. Girl power.

This is hard to fathom. Why?

Visited the tree, now known as Anthea’s tree.

Invited to tea with Sarah.

DEBT FREE

Today we paid off our mortgage. For me it has taken 40 years for Alice 25. For the first time in my life I have no financial debts. It’s a strange feeling of weightlessness.
