  • I am now 84 and reflecting on my life and friends especially since my husband died in 2017. Erich and Fay (as we called her) were wonderful friends - he made me some lovely jewellery and Fay gave my friends and I facials at her salon in London Court. I'm not sure of our age differences but I would love to be in touch if at all possible.
