For help and encouragement: My lovely John, Ella, Nicola and Sue.
A thank you to Alexandra Joseph from Alexandra Joseph Photography for the photo of Charlie on the front cover: you always take the best!
This volume would not have been published without the help of Dr Susan Bewley. A huge debt of thanks is owed to her: She not only guided in the births of my children, but also in the creation of this book, reading, mentoring, supporting and advising.
In all my experiences with doctors, she was the one who took the time to listen.
