Book launch in Devon

When Max and Audrey retired from the colonial service in Malaysia, they settled in Topsham, a picturesque town on the Exe Estuary in Devon. Our family's connection to Topsham now goes back half a century, so the Topsham Museum was the perfect venue for the English launch of At Least We Lived  on October 5. Over 50 friends and family gathered on a sunny autumn evening to celebrate its publication.

Frances' daughter, Alida (centre), is a third generation Topsham resident. She loved the book!

Many guests remember Max and Audrey fondly from their years on Monmouth St in Topsham.
