What’s a moment in your life that felt like it was straight out of a movie?

View all responses

It was a quiet flight from Oman to London. Arrival to London is uneventful until the Eastern European females start their reign of annoying disruption… First booking the wrong bus when all trains cancelled then on a short overnight my court papers from Oman are stolen by a Polish chef…

I struggle onto the boat to be faced with several hundred holiday makers. The journey is long and distressing. I am concerned as to what I am going to find when I get to the house. The burglaries and criminal damage were so frequent I lost count…

So as I arrive in Normandy my home has yet again be broken into… the small part of the house the old lady had agreed to sell to me when the time came has a group of French males in it. All of the items have been removed and they have filled it with boxes presumably, it having been stolen in WW11 from a family sent to Auchwitz and then my arrival looking distinctly Jewish and the attacks began immediately…

The thought of these thieves profiting from the theft of the house again when I had agreed to purchase as a home not for profit.. Makes me so angry that I literally cannot breathe. The secret hiding room I had found and the facts that the family were sent to Auchwitz a few months before the end of the war, not by the Nazis but by the villagers who stole everything…

So inspired by defiance and anger and the fact that house has not had renovations completed due to the attacks, purchase spray cans and the entire ground floor walls outside the entrance is covered in Stars of David’s and the words ‘Jews were killed here” and ‘Nazis stole this house’ ….

Photographs are shared on social media and the cowards put up barriers and weed repellent. This is the French in the Normandy region that was heavily occupied and many famillies sent to Auchwitz. The interesting part that many British were collaborating with the Nazis and supporting the war effort in exterminating the Jews.

Apart from the memorials there is little signs of the families murdered and the ensuing thefts. Nothing… Not even a small reminder as appear across the rest of Europe.

So I have created a very clear memorial to the family murdered and my own daughters…

I am told that If I fly an American flag they will burn the house down… !!

If there is one thing Nazis hate its the truth !! If felt like a film… Unreal and surreal but then horrific truths often are!!!!!

What is the meaning of life?

View all responses

So many of the regular answers to this question, family, love, fulfilment. None of the these are really the meaning of life as I understand it. Life brings every person different paths, loss, love, trauma and experiences… This in effect means that for me there is no one overarching reason for life that is the same for all humanity…There is however one thing that civilisations throughout have agreed upon, that being God. This is one of the things that humanity universally has incorporated into civilisation throughout the centuries …

How do you plan the perfect road trip?

View all responses

By definition a road trip requires careful packing…then assessment and repacking multiple times, unless you have lorry. Ok this may not seem obvious as a road trip requires route planning financial and safety planning… A three day visit to the wilds of ‘Hidden’ in a 4×4… three adults and a necessary break from the UK. My parents really tries to take me away from the court of England and the determined actions by a ex raf, police and private tech specialist, paid to disrupt, discredit and attack… That road trip was really a turning point. Firstly packing for three fully grown adults for three days, no electricity, shops or escape… Designed by my biological father to try and break my strategy to disrupt the activity. Basic psychology towards the psychopathic personality type. make yourself human, make yourself real in their minds… Packing cannot help with that sort of road trip…but planning is required. The secret to every amazing trip is good planning. My family booked the cabin, the boat, the fishing equipment, the bait, the food and the emergency supplies…needless to say the six hour road trip was a roaring success. Did the tech psycho stop… no. But like all situations, making the experience international and challenging certainly helped in the circumstances …Make the road trip part of the destination, interesting stops and fun on the journey, snacks, great stops for the views and music music music… keep a photo diary of the journey and make it about the path not the destination.

How do you stay motivated when learning something new?

View all responses

Learning something new in Middle Age… well every year since my husband died and my daughters murdered, I have learnt a new skill every year, from gliding to skiing and horse riding. Each time a certain level of courage has been required. So the usual routine of coffee and cake and tea rewards, as a non drinker these are the motivations…. Although learning to fly a glider that took extra sustenance of sandwiches to settle a very nervous tummy…

If you could erase one movie from your memory and watch it again for the first time, which one would it be?

View all responses

I remember seeing this the first time. It was released at Christmas and my babies were small. It was a time of year when the pressures on relationships are very real… The film is almost a indie feel good film, one for the adults in front of cosy fire and wrapped up from the cold nights, snow and rainy season…

The thing is the film is all about Love… The various types of love and stages of life…all wrapped in the theme of interconnectivity of the village in the city of London.

In a simpler time it was perfect to join the indie concept of the Village City. This film was then shown every Christmas… This is why I want to unsee it. The first Christmas I was held at knife point by my husband for going to a mums party. The Christmases that followed from the divorce to the custody battle to the period of homelessness and then all of the subsequent Christmas times. The death threats, the turning up at my home, burglaries, thefts and then the many subsequent home moves…

This Indie film was like a reminder of how things were, how they could be and how they are actually not in England…

Forgetting that film and rewatching it in a different time and space would perhaps allow the memories to fade and somehow it would be enjoyed at face value erasing all the memories that over the years are intertwined with ‘Love Actually’

What’s a book that completely surprised you?

View all responses

I should by rights not be here let alone having written a book… still when i revisit a chapter, its like returning to a special part of my past… The gratitude and grief and miracles involved in the creation of this book still surprises me, Sometimes I am surprised and shocked looking back to a time and place… what surprised me the most is that the UK actually refused to pay their debt at the end of the book and chose organised crime and abandonment of the long history of the rule of law and reverted to criminal activity rather than follow the principles of post Cromwell English law… This still surprises me daily…

How can you build a regular fitness routine?

View all responses

There is a famous Nike quote, Just do it … I think that exercise is just organised movement… So I think it depends on the stage of life.. With three small children and no help, thinking that organised exercise is possible Is unrealistic, however keeping a tidy home is great exercise, cleaning tidying and daily walks with the children pram and pushchair is great exercise. Pilates with household props is easy, just hilarious it hubby or children find you using bean tins as weights and the skipping rope as lever for stretches… Couples yoga is great for relationships and confidence building and intimacy. As long as you are ready to have the occasional fall or funny position…. great for relationships and no special places required…Finally for the singles amongst us joining a gym can be great socially and exercise in a shared space allows human interaction and don’t be put off by the muscles and gym addicts, just start with gentle cycling, rowing and headphones fav tracks and always a place with a small cafe for a reward latte…

There was a time when afternoon tea, cricket and days at the races, picnics and fun days by the sea in England…. then something changed and it was difficult to know at which point.. Was it when my husband died and I was attacked by a police officer from the force that had investigated attacks against me historically by a still serving police officer.

The involvement of british military and ex military in the targeting and my almost super human response to that was on reflection a miracle. The British as demonstrated throughout history react very badly to having to pay debts or being found liable for actions even against there own citizens.

The British are well renowned for including people of other nationalities to attack on their behalf, in my case Israeli intelligence services. I was unprepared for this. nothing can prepare you for it. The beatings sexual attacks and rerouted calls so that no help is on its way.

I have a home in France.. but after death threats and burglaries I can no longer live again caused by british french and israelis. An unlikely combination until you look back at history less surprising the continent of murder and rape and genocide.

The military with no actual wars and no leadership on defence take to social media and start to identify the vulnerable for disposal….my daughters were murdered on behalf of the military and police, one by a fireman and one by ex military male. One was dumped in a reservoir the other burnt illegally, her last moments with her room and posessions being destroyed by a six feet tall snivelling coward. After all that is what they are… cowards… cannot fight in real wars so kill the defenceless and unarmed…

I think as my life after UK develops its difficult to know how it looks.. But for sure it will never look the same again. My service to my country meaningless and my views for it destroyed….. My ideal life is that with my children, but when the UK murdered that now it looks like relaxing, writing and enjoying those activities that perhaps I did not have so much time to do…

Ideal it is not but none of us can go back and as we move forward it has to become ideal…
