All I wanted to do was write - at the time poems and prose too. I guess my ambition was simply to make money however I could to keep myself going in some modest way and I didn't need much I was unmarried at the time no children.
I was always interested in French poetry sort of as a sideline to my own work...

Every day is intense and alive whether it's travel work even down time which there is so little of.
