ABOUT ME 

ELAINE'S BACKGROUND

Elaine was born in Guys Hospital, London, 2nd eldest of 6 children in Bermondsey. In those days, people left keys hanging on the back of doors to obtain them through the letter box so you can let yourself in, children were left in prams outside their homes and they could be some distance too, especially if you were living in a 2nd floor flat and babysitting was second nature at the age of 14 for pocket money.
