I have a very tenuous link with Spitalfields as my Great Great Grandfather , Joseph Daniels was a potato merchant on Spitalfields Market before the First War
I have had such an easy uncomplicated life

What a fabulous woman! My grandfather was at the Battle of Cable Street also…These were impressive people and we need to remember them, and hopefully emulate some of their principles.

Trifle for afters, party well on the next plain, Beat old darlin.

It’s clear that she was a kind person with a deep desire to help others, despite not having much herself. A full life, well lived.
