Part 1: Not Your Average Post War Baby – From London Rations to French Wineries

Sue was born in 1945.

With the same rations and rubble as the families around her, she saw her London upbringing as average.

He father wore a bowler hat to work and her mother stayed home to keep house. But even the smallest differences in attitudes and approach can change a childs path. 

Encouraged to follow her love of languages, 

and gifted with multiple math failures, 

Sue discovered new worlds. 

Until this interview, Sue had never stopped to reflect on the impact of it all. She knew she was different but what made her go one way when most of her classmates went the other way.
