This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.
Margo passed away peacefully yesterday. Thank you for all of your good wishes to her. We will try not to cry too many tears...Tonight we will dance and sing and raise a toast in her honour. That is what she would have wanted!
I only had a couple of times with Margo in Trinidad, her memory wasn't great, she repeated the same things a few times, but I so enjoyed the opportunity to talk with her, spend time and share and chuckle about our lives. She was gracious and interesting with her remarkable self peaking through if not totally available to her. I'm glad I met her, I wish her buon viaggio. For you who are left, I wish you happy memories and peace.

I'm raising my glass to her over here...remarkable stories you've shared here, so I feel as though I got to know her a bit.
Thank you :)
I'm so sorry, Nan.
Love to you all, and a special THANKS to you for sharing Margo with us.
