Here we are again and I am making a concerted effort to be on top of my post this month. I'm starting with my book choices for April.
For Mothers Day my daughter gifted me Scott Mitchell's book of his life with Barbara Windsor. It was a love affair that nobody thought would last., Barbara was 26 years older than Scott, meeting by chance when his mother a life long friend of Barbara , asked him to collect Barbara from her Mews home in London and drive her down to Sussex for a visit. They hit it off straight away and what started out as an occasional lunch soon turned into a love story that would last thirty years
I really didn't know much about Barbara Windsor's life other than what had been in the papers on and off for years. She had led an incredible life but had also had a lot of heartbreak that is until she met Scott Mitchell. They shared a rollercoaster ride that was their life together in which Barbara supported her husband through his alcoholism and his road to recovery to him looking after his beloved wife through her illness with dementia. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
