Life, with all its challenges, continues to beckon, urging us to embrace its stunning revelations. My humble beginnings trace back to an old piggery, where the rhythmic echoes of my father’s hammer against an anvil filled the air. Amidst quieter moments, the delicate tracing of his diamond-headed rod travelled upon coloured glass sheets in his lead window workshop. The backyard of our home, a sanctuary of hope and exploration, was where my sisters and I embarked on whimsical adventures.
