darrell lea ... not a sweet legacy

... I read the news this morning that the confectionery company has gone 'bust'.

Sadly many will lose their jobs and their livelihoods but my first thought was that of the Lea family.

Some years ago I met the author, Diana Georgeff, who wrote the book Delinquent Angel about Shelton Lea. He was adopted as a 'play mate' for the Lea children and suffered abuse in their family.

Although I haven't yet read the book, Diana was a very interesting person to talk with. And encouraging too - about getting one's own story 'out there.'

  1. I've read the book, very sad such people were allowed to adopt children at all, awful childhood.
    I feel for the workers who might lose their jobs :(
