I had been married for 3 years and had just started trying to get pregnant. It didn't take long - fertility is not a problem in my family! - and she was born on 31st July, 1963. The winter of 62/63 was very harsh but I was floating on air as I was so thrilled to be having a baby - I had become very broody.

.......I graduated. I can remember, as if it were yesterday, lining up with my contemporaries in alphabetical order, outside the graduation hall where my father had graduated 28 years previously. Proud parents waited inside for the graduands to file in. St Andrews was sunny, if not hot. There was also a feeling of relief - I'd made it! And miraculously I'd lost a good deal of weight in the run-up to the exams.
