My name is Maritza, I was born in 1907. I came over to England in 1960 and I brought with me a weaving machine and two children. I came over to England to marry them off.

I used to embroider collars and laces. I came from Lethgara. My husband died two years after we came to England and I¹ve been a widow ever since. My first impressions were that I didn¹t like England I wanted to leave straight away. I don¹t know how I feel about people in England. I can¹t speak with them and I don¹t mix with them.
