Authors: Trezza Azzopardi
For their love and support, and for sharing their memories and anecdotes, thanks to my mother, Pamelia Azzopardi, and to Carmen and Edward Rees. Most of all, thanks to Stephen Foster, for all
that and just about everything else.
Note
Although Winnie is a fictional character set in a fictional Norwich, she was inspired by Nora Bridle, a resident of the streets of Cardiff. I am indebted to everyone who took
the trouble to write to me with their memories of Nora.
