Never go back. That’s what people always tell you. Things will have changed. They won’t be the way you remembered. Leave the past in the past. Of course, the last one is easier said than done. The past has a habit of repeating on you. Like a bad curry.

THE TAKING OF ANNIE THORNE
One night, Annie went missing. Disappeared from her own bed. There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst. And then, miraculously, after forty-eight hours, she came back. But she couldn’t, or wouldn’t, say what had happened to her.
Something happened to my sister. I can’t explain what. I just know that when she came back, she wasn’t the same. She wasn’t my Annie.
I didn’t want to admit, even to myself, that sometimes I was scared to death of my own little sister.
I love good quality chocolate.
I love the ocean and love to be in, on or beside it.
I read any and every where.
I am a proud mum and Nana.
I like wine, gin, Southern Comfort, a cold Heineken on a hot day. I am very versatile like that.
I cross stitch, do jigsaws, garden, and work on a farm. I am an occasional scribbler. I have far too many books I want to read to ever find the time to die.

It seems now the tables have been turned on Ngozi Fulani she doesn’t like it. She was out to have somebody that day for her own gains and gratification by presenting how she did, deliberately being evasive, happy to destroy an elderly ladies reputation.
