Book Description

Most of us have at the back of our minds or memories our “Oh yes, I remember whens.” These are things from our past, which we have long since forgotten, until someone or something acts as a stimulus to bring them to our minds, whether welcome or possibly even hurtful. Situations which, until something or someone brings them to our mind, come alive at the stimulus, ” You remember it as a comment from a friend or even a particular sound or smell. “Oh yes,” you say! “I had totally forgotten about that, but now that you mention it, I remember being there and recall when so-and-so said such-and-such…”


“How many times have we said to ourselves, ‘If only I had recorded and kept a diary of what happened that afternoon!’” If I had done so, I could have written a book on it. But so many of us haven’t kept sufficient details to write our magnum opus. But we can try! Instead of trying to write a 100% accurate detail of what transpired, we can include the relevant experiences in a fictional version of what happened. Yes, it all happened, but not strictly as described in this book.

Retiring from the civil service after 25 years, William Birmingham worked in policy development and led training courses in the pensions and social security field in Africa, Central Asia and the Caribbean, including living and working for over five years in Beijing. He is a lay minister in the Church of England and is now part of a team running a toddler group in his local church. He also chairs his local Neighbourhood Action Group.
