She talks about Sam and her mother, her brothers, friends and neighbours, their working life in tough conditions, and includes a number of stories about Sam and his exploits that have been related to her since his death in 1988. As Peggy says, ‘Everyone always said "Good old Sam!" - he brought a smile to people's faces.' Here's your chance to find out more. Photographs and Foreword by Chris Chapman |
