I had the unusual and great pleasure of having Norma as a mentor in her Teacup kitchen, she taught me to cook, to think creatively, to laugh, to read poetry, to expand my mind, and to love things English. Cliff would come in for his cup of Lapsang Souchong and I could not believe anyone could drink something that smelled like that, and now it is my favourite. I guess that is what I am saying, Norma's lessons and influence and lasted inside me all these years, giving treasures to be savoured. I am sorry we have lost her on this side, but happy that she is back in the company of her beloveds who left before her. Sending heaps of love to her family.
