It looks as though the family writing tradition is being carried on by the younger generations.
Mylo, my great grandson, intends to take up journalism and media studies at university.
He will be the sixth member of our family to take up the trade, starting with Uncle George Dymond almost a hundred years ago.
I followed in 1942, then Rosemary, while her father was for over forty years a Linotype operator and an uncle the sports editor on the Luton Post.
Jim, Valerie’s husband, is about to have a thriller published. It will be the fourth book published by the family; the first, Uncle George’s Late Night Final How to be a Reporter, published by Pitman in the 1947.
And my 13 year old grandson Owen is another elegant writer and budding author, and also active in music and drama.
