Rewind

Arriving in the UK in the early 1970s, my parents and siblings were in for a total shock. Everything changed; the weather, the people, the attitudes towards each other and it was the start of a fight to be seen as an equal in this foreign country.

There's no denying it; life was a real struggle. I saw and heard things no child should see. My early teenage years were horrendous and I felt a social outcaste. Through grit, determination and an incredibly hard working and resolute mother, we all survived - just.

So there you are. We all need to take time out and take a nostalgic look at our past - we all have to Rewind.
