I don't believe in this sort of thing BUT.........

We were living in Whitby at the time and it was Regatta week. On a whim, I went to see a Romany fortune teller, an elderly woman, in her caravan on the pier. I knew she had seen me outside with my husband and, at that time, 2 children aged 9 and 7. She told me one of my children would be very "clever" and the other would be very musical. She said my husband would soon be offered a new job which he should not turn down and she said, "Your family life will change and you'll think you won't be happy but, you will".

Within 6 months my husband was unexpectedly offered a very good job in the North East which eventually led on to an even better one in Manchester. Two years later, when I was just about to return full-time to the Civil Service, I became pregnant with my youngest child - a complete shock to all of us! At first I was devastated but the result was my lovely younger daughter.

My eldest daughter has become an accountant with numerous qualifications and my son has been a semi-professional musician for 20 years. She could probably see the potential in the children - maybe there's a "look" to a studious person or a musician - but it was the change of job and the change of family (I didn't want to have a 3rd child but I'm so glad I did) that made me stop and think.

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
