The Final Cut!

The longest serving worker  along Goodwood Parade shops on Courtlands Drive in Watford is about to hang up her hairdressing scissors  after sixty one years on the parade, that's sure alot of haircuts, so I caught up with Naomi Coyle to find out how it all started :                   "When I  was thirteen, I used to work Fridays and Saturdays at the Hairdressers , it was called "Malcoms" back then. When I left school at around thirteen/fourteen  I did my apprenticeship there before leaving for a short while, but then  I came back and the shop had a new owner and name "Richards" and I must've worked there for a good forty years.  When Richard retired and the shop closed  I moved over to the other side of the Parade  where owner Julie Allery had the Hair Tech salon and I've been here ever since" There has been alot of filming on the Parade over the years and some of you might remember the  Confused.co...

Please Don't Do A Michael!

Wednesday 6th May 2015  started out a day like any other. As someone in ill health, I was sitting at my desk in my bedroom working on the laptop, think of todays  Isolation/Lockdown only 24 years worth courtesy of M.E ?  My mother had just entered the bedroom when my phone rang, it was my sister Michele, I did my usual cheery " Hi Smell, you okay?" but she sounded awkward, she asked if mum was with me, at which point Mum came over and sat at the end of my bed thinking I was about to hand the phone over. Then my sister said  " Stacy, I have some bad news"  I immediately thought it was my Dad, I mean  we tend to think  life goes in order don't we, even if that's totally false? which of course it is.  As I felt that  sickening fight or flight adrenaline start to course through my body and braced myself  for   what she was about to say next, absolutely nothing could've  prepared me.  " I'm sorry, it's really ...
