These tales from the author's life experiences are mostly light-hearted but they all true. They start with Nellie the dinghy who eventually became the long, red, sleek speedboat named The Phantom. Some of the tales also involve the caravan that the author's father bought when Borry was thirteen years old. The family spent almost every weekend from March to October at St. Lawrence Bay in the wilds and farmlands of Essex, by the River Blackwater with recurring battles against screaming winkles, the bog of eternal stench and the evil mud sucking monster. Fun and frolics ensued for over forty-eight years.
Born in East Londonin the middle of the twentieth century, the author became a typist when she left school. She met her husband when someone else brought him as a guest to her eighteenth birthday party and thirty-six years later she still considers him to be the best birthday present she has ever received. Borry obtained a degree with the aim of becoming a teacher then realised this was the wrong career choice and now works for London Probation. She is a loving mum and nanna, and spends as much time as she can with Ginger, the love of her life.
