A formal launch of Victoria
Seymour’s book,
“Letters from Lavender Cottage”,
took place at Victoria’s home
on the 14th November 2002, when Wendy Johnson, the owner of the
wartime and post-war letters that inspired the book, was visiting Hastings, from
Canada, with her husband Walter.
Wendy has followed the progress
of the book closely and via email was able to contribute information, advice and
support. In spite of the marvels of the
Internet, nothing equalled the feeling of achievement that came with
Wendy
holding the completed book.
Also present were Joyce Brewer
and Ivor White,
who made contributions to “Letters From Lavender Cottage” in the
form of their teenage memories of WWII. “Dear Angelique”, who is central to the
explanation of the background to the letters, visited the book launch.
Ivor also took the photographs.
