Suzi Clark at a glance

Reflections of my life

It started when

... my Dad went to India

And met my Mum

... in Calcutta

He lost his job

… because mixed race marriages were forbidden by the firm

I was brought up

... by Lilly, my ayah

I returned to England

I got beaten up

... because I was the only non-white child in Mountbelle Primary, Chislehurst

I became a fast runner

... to get away from bullies

I became Head Girl

... got 10 O levels and lifelong friends at Tripoli College

In Libya life was good

I learned to dance, sing and act

No longer the odd one out

... in a class of 16 nationalities = there was no discrimination

For a while I was

... a magician’s assistant

I wrote and directed

... a musical which was televised

I married Bryan Forrest Clark

... he died in 1994 and I stopped writing

Our greatest productions

Tanya, Larissa and Sophie Clark

And now

We have seven lovely grandchildren

These days

When I'm not working with Kit and Caboodle or GranDysitting, I'm writing, painting and making music! (pic credit Lancton!)
