The Stories

The stories
All my life I have told stories, all my life I have listened to stories. These are some of the stories I have told, and some of them are true. Nearly everyone who tells stories "improves" them as time goes on, and I am no exception. Some of the stories where I am a central figure happened so long ago that I cannot remember the truth of them, but that is not so important now that many of the characters are dead and the issues long ago resolved.

It will take time to get these stories transcribed, some from paper, some from my head - I hope I have the time!
