    There was a place by the beach called Helenback.

    My siblings and I in the car: Where are we going?

    Mum (shouting): Hell and back!

    I was an adult before I realised it had another name.

      When I was very young, my dad told me we were going to Miami. I thought he said “my Ami”, which I assumed was a word for some kind of relative, like Auntie, Granny, etc.
