On International Women’s Day and with Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’m thinking of all the wonderful women in my life. A special shout-out to my marvellous mother, Margaret, and my superb sisters, Laura and Anna – both mums themselves now – whose love and strength inspire me every day. I cherish the memories of my late sister, Tricia, and know she would have been the best mum as she often mothered me, even though I’m the older sister.
