My brother

I'd just moved into my new flat in Camden Town,and was 3 months pregnant with my son Perry. There was a knock on my door, and I opened it to see a tall slim man with a face that looked rather famliar. Behind him stood a very nervous looking woman. The man asked "are you Collette Hall?" I said yes with some suspicion. The man said "I'm your brother Tony". I stood and looked at him for what seemed like an eternity, sorely tempted to curse and slam the door shut on what must have surely been a practical joker. But something about the face...the Hall nose,I think, made me say "you'd better come in then!!". Tony told me that my dad had often spoken about me, and he felt compelled to meet me. I am glad I didn't shut the door, as I am proud to say that Tony, became an integral part of my life. Elayne Hall
