I am Babs Lee.  And I have always written typed up, and put on shelves at home. Now at 73, I can hopefully get my affirmation and say I am a writer. I run a poetry and a creative group to help those out there following their writing dreams. I have lived in London all my life. My grandparents are looking down on me from where they lived in Wells Street.
