I first came to London in the 1950s but I didn’t like it because of the icy cold. So I went back to Jamaica, and my husband stayed here to work. But I finally came back to live here in 1997, to Clapham Park. I liked it better actually, everything had changed, but it was still very cold. The only other time I moved house was when I moved from my flat into Langholm Close. I love it there because I have a garden.
