Today Sandi provides some wonderful escapism in the story of a life well lived.
Lady Fanny Lucy Houston, wasn't born with a title, in fact her early life was one of poverty. So, how did she become the wealthiest woman in Britain?
Her riches enabled her to not only indulge eccentricities, but to also become a leading light in the Suffragette movement and pioneer of aviation technology.
If it hadn't been for Lady Houston, the outcome of WW2 may have been rather different.
So, immerse yourself in this glorious tale of a woman we should have all learned about at school and remember, We Will Get Past This.
