ABOUT JOAN

Joan Brimelow, 85, from Hornsby, in New South Wales, can’t believe that the story that she wrote as a challenge to herself has been so well received. This is the first time Joan, the proud mother (of three sons), grandmother and great-grandmother has participated in a writing competition. Joan, who sees herself in her story, knits for the charity Wrapped in Love, as she feels strongly about giving to and helping those in

need.
