Well today is the best day to start telling Mum’s story.
Sometimes I call her Mum and sometimes Mama – I’m half Filpina half English it’s the influence of two cultures I suppose.
Leaving her family and the country she grew up in must have been a heady mix of excitement and WTF am I doing?!
I just asked Mum what she felt in this photo “Excitement and emotion… it’s a good adventure for me – first time out of the country”
… What did she think England would be?
“Cold!”
