Margaret Ford, 94, author
Itâs fair to say I didnât expect, aged 93, to become Britainâs oldest debut author. My story is just my life, really. It never crossed my mind that anyone else might care to know more.
Iâd been married to my husband, Jim, for 67 years when he did the dirty and died on me seven years ago. One day not soon after I started to look through this trunk full of 630 letters weâd sent to each other, reading them back to reminisce. There are a lot of them â at points during his army postings around the world he was sending me up to three a day.
