    T. R. Robinson

    My initial inspiration to write came from when I realised my life, as well as those of my ancestors, were anything but ‘normal’. They were certainly not ‘run-of-the-mill’. Originating within a very loving family I was, at a very early age, unexpectedly thrown into a very cruel world. Abuse, torture, violence and disappointment followed and have been my companions for as long as I can remember. However, there were also some enjoyable fun times that I recall with pleasure. For example: when a good friend and I, dressed in evening gowns and with our best jewellery on, fell face first into mud or when a young man, stopping me in the High Street, went on his knees to, as he put it, ‘worship’ me. These and other similar events still bring a smile to my face. Having survived the abuse, torture (World War II) and eventually escaping from domestic violence I went on to experience a variety of different employments. Laboratory assistant, night hospital orderly, machinist in a clothing factory, finally finding a niche in the world of public houses and night clubs as a barmaid and waitress. Though not glamorous these did provide the income, by working three jobs at the same time, to support and bring up my son. Regrettably I did not entirely leave abuse and violence behind me. But I am a survivor and am here to share a variety of tales, both factual and fictional, with you.

      I now pronounce you man and wife. Was I happy, sad or just grateful to have found a means of escape? Ah; That is entirely another tale.

      This, the occasion of my marriage to a British Naval Lieutenant, was the first time I met Felina. A name she would more than come to epitomise; her character and personality being what they were. Apparently her parents had originally considered Katrina, a name that would have been most inappropriate. Felina was anything but pure or virginal. They must have had some prophetic epiphany to have changed their minds.

      Felia, as she was more commonly known or rather demanded, considering it more suitable for the higher echelons of society to which she aspired, was a fellow countrywoman. She, two or three weeks earlier had married a British sailor who it turned out was a friend and colleague of my to be husband. I had not been invited to the wedding though my fiancé had attended. Though my marriage, for reasons I will not go into, had to be a private, small, affair my future husband had wanted a handful of his friends and colleagues to join in the celebrations. And so, there they were. In time I would come to see how very foolish the poor man had been to have fallen for the ‘charms’ of his new wife. I had wondered why she’d married him as he was not from an important or wealthy family but came to realise she’d seen it as her opportunity to get away from our homeland and into British society that, at the time, was viewed as one of the most desirable in the world.

      Though we’d met a couple of times before leaving our homeland, to start our new lives in England, it would be some years before I met Felia again. How things change, or perhaps it’s just that time reveals truth in all it’s glory and horrors. It was in fact not until after I’d escaped from my violent, cruel, jealous husband we would meet. Even then, it had been more by chance than design. I’d remembered my husband telling me his friend had left the navy and had set up home in a nearby town. The town where I would eventually end up with my young son. Of course, at the time I had no intention of seeing anyone who knew us as I needed to keep my whereabouts a secret. My husband, if he’d found out, would have tried, and more than likely succeeded, in dragging us back to the violent, abusive life I’d escaped. Society and laws were very different then. But as previously stated, that is another tale and not to be gone into here.

      It was one evening, at one of my places of work, I would next see this uncouth woman. To support us, my son and I, I’d had to take three jobs, this was the evening one in what would now be called a gastro pub but then was simply referred to as a club. I’d been serving a regular customer and had just risen from fetching his order from below the bar. I’d been concentrating upon
