I don't know anything much about her having grown up in a different country, but my Mum liked her. This popped up on my timeline Facebook and I enjoyed it. Light-hearted of course, just for some to enjoy!

I met her when I was about 15, at a charity presentation evening that I'd raised money for. They used to find a local celebrity to present the certificates. She spent a good couple of hours with us, and recited a few poems. The one about looking after teeth sticks in my mind.

She's just as lovely in real life as she comes across in her poetry or on TV.

I found her to have a gentle style compared to today’s overt crassness.

We liked Jayne Adams Serious Black Jumper too. Not sure what her other work is like but that was enjoyable.

Grew up with her too. Funny and love the accent - how my grandparents spoke.

I’ve always loved her. Grew up reading her stuff and can still quote it. Quite underrated, I think.

Thank you. We need more of her ilk. I grew up in Australia and she was well known there too.

Thanks for sharing.
