Trenna’s Diary Summaries From Her iPad (with photos)

Intro and extra clarifications by Greg, the rest by Tren

As I’ve said previously … In Trenna’s iPad she has written summaries of each year. As you will see from what she has written she has gleaned the information retrospectively from a wide range of sources.
As I reproduce them on this site I’ll take the opportunity to clarify and expand on some of the stories. Trenna wrote these summaries (and there Read the rest ... “1991”

15 Year Old Trenna’s Own Words

This series of transcripts starts here.

16 July 1973 To The End Of The Year

Monday 16 July

Sue woke me at 7.30 and I very unwillingly got out of bed. Had breakfast and then got dressed and left for work.

It was really cold walking to work so instead of taking 15 minutes it only took me 10. Today a new girl is starting her name is Eileen she is about 21 … Read the rest ... “The 1973 Diary, Part 12”

By Greg

As the title suggests, this is the second part of the story, the first part is here.

Near the Stage

So there we were, in the tongue pit with Tren’s great friend Sue, who she probably hadn’t seen for a couple of years, and Sue’s sister, Judy.

“Ahhh! You’ve got the same top as me!”  Both have a black (of course) “It’s only rock n roll” singlet top.  Judy has a different, but equally cool Stones top.… Read the rest ... “THE Rolling Stones Concert – Part 2”

THE Rolling Stones Concert  Part 1

By Greg

Soundtrack of Trenna’s Life

By Greg

Setting Some Context

On 15 January 2021 a celebration of Trenna’s life was held. I wanted to hand out a postcard which had a picture of Trenna and a couple of links to a playlist I developed after Trenna passed away a few weeks earlier. I then put up a Facebook post to help people to click through to the playlist.

That Facebook post appears below and I have embedded the Youtube Playlist and the Spotify below.
