MEET SUZANNE

I often see this lady in the town centre, and a few weeks ago, was having coffee at Muffin Break and happened to sit next to her.  We chatted and I told her that if she had a Swindon card, she could get a coffee before 11.30 in the morning for just £1.50.

Her name is Suzanne and she is definitely a "one-off" as she would tell you herself - and very interesting to chat to.  I guess a lot of people might be put off by her different way of dressing and her tattoos, but she has a story to tell and deserves to be listened to.

Today, I met her again, and she told me how pleased she was that I had told her about the coffee sometime ago and that it saves her a lot of money!  Whilst talking this morning, Suzanne told me about her son who died two years ago from a heroin overdose.  She said that she would never get over it and it was still very "raw".  I let her talk and felt that it helped her a little.  

I did ask permission to use her photograph on here and when she told me she was happy for me to  do so, asked "Does my hair look OK?"  I assured her that she looked wonderful - and I'm sure you will agree that she brightens up the day!

I wasn't going to do another collage today, but just had to show you Suzanne's boots!

 I think you will agree that Suzanne is definitely extraordinary!
