I had my wee Esme as a chicken in a basket ! One rogue night In Tiffanys !
My apologies for missing the quiz last night. I got stuck in a 100mph gale, and decided the sanctuary o my daughters house was nice and cosy , especially when she braved the gales and got us munchies and a small libation.

No, I was not ‘meant’ :) My parents and elder sisters had settled into a brand new 2 bedroom house,My parents were at last getting on their feet,from earlier years of near Poverty and Debt. My father gained promotion to the rank of Conveynor in the Trade Union movement and all was well..
Then I decided to soft shoe shuffle my way into their lives :) I was conceived after a trade union meeting that my father lost ! and my mother almost 40, assumed she had been through the menopause.She did not keep great health and back in the late 50’s there were no means of testing ,and this was probably secondary to her other illness’s.
So there i was,with a mother who adored me, a middle sister who resented me,an older sister that would have adopted me and a dad that was kinda confused, so didnt really show this new one Much emotion at all.
in my mothers Eyes i was the best thing since Shirley temple,so i was particularily close to her. As life goes we lost my mum and sisters and i was left alone with a Dad i hardly knew,we were like 2 strangers living in the same house and i rebelled, big style. stupid erse :) Was only years later i discovered he felt as lost as me, Im glad to say i made it up with my DAD.I think i grew up that wee bit when i had the kids. The last 2 years of his life were the best for us.I actually felt a kinship for the first time,and then and ONLY then Was i allowed to mention my Mother. It was not allowed before. So at least we spoke as dad and daughter before it was too late,and i just wish id said so much more…
So TB to answer you, no i maybe was NOT wanted initially, but deep down i was.. :)
