Cute Baby Girls Biography

Source:- Google.com.pk

Marina Lewycka was born in 1946 in a refugee camp in Kiel, Germany. She can't remember anything about it, but her Mum always said she was a lovely baby, and she should know. She enjoyed eating semolina (still does) so they nicknamed her Marina Semolina.
When she was about a year old, the family moved to England. After the reception centre, they found a home with elderly Mrs Dobbs (famous for being Malcolm Muggeridge's mother-in-law) in Sussex and later with Miss Winifred Morton at Burwash Common. Her Mum did the housework and looked after the old ladies, while Marina fed the ducks, and acquired an early interest in the welfare of poultry.

It was Mrs Dobbs and Miss Morton who first taught her to speak English with a suitably posh accent which 35 years in Yorkshire could never quite erase.
In about 1949 the family moved into their first home of their own, in Norton, a small mining village close to Doncaster. It was a two-up two-down terraced cottage with a tin bath in front of the fire and a lav in the back alley with little squares of torn-up newspaper stuck on a nail.
Her Dad worked for International Harvester tractors in Doncaster and went to work every morning on his motorbike (a Norton 500). She went to St Catherine's School in Pontefract, a small mining town famous for the Prince of Wales colliery and Pomfret cakes, which are round sweets like coins made of liquorice. One day she stole the class dinner money and sneaked into Pontefract and spent it on Pomfret cakes. It was easy for the teachers to spot the culprit because she came back with black goo all around her mouth. She wasn't expelled - the teachers were very kind, and they were probably a bit sorry for her, because they let her win the school prize - it was a book called Mary Was Five & The Black Rock by Honor C Appleton - the first book of her very own, which she loved to shreds. Her other loves were Muffin the Mule and the Bill and Ben the Flowerpot men.
This was also the start of her long career as an unpublished writer. Here is her first poem, which was written when she was about four.
Green grass. Green grass.
One little rabbit hopping past.
Two little butterflies flying by.
Three little skylarks up in the sky.
Four little lambs are playing there below.
Five little men are walking to and fro,
Six little girls are merrily at play.
Oh isn't it a pleasant and a sunny summer's day.
OK, it's not yer Milton.
In about 1954 they moved to Doncaster, where she went to Wheatley Hills Primary School, and got bullied by little boys who called her a Gerry because she was born in Germany (neuh neuh, we won the war ...) and a Rusky because no one had heard of Ukraine (neuh neuh, you're a commie ...) and pulled her hair, because she had it in plaits.

However, she didn't care, because by then she had a man in her life who was fearless and dashing and bold and carried her away every night in his aeroplane.
