For Caroline Skelton, reading her late father’s diaries makes him come alive again.
And she has plenty to choose from – for farmer Michael May wrote an entry every day of his life from the age of 18 until his death in 2021, his 80th year. There are 62 diaries in total, and Caroline and her three sisters are now deciding what to do with them after an emotional interview with former BBC Radio York presenter Jonathan Cowap on his new station, YO1 Radio.
Although the girls were aware he was a diarist and he received a new volume each Christmas from their mother, he never allowed his family to read them during his lifetime. 'We didn’t know he could write like he did. His last entry was in May 2020, when he was suffering from dementia. The script was wobbly, but he was still trying to keep writing. 'As he got older, his writing became more confident. He started off very formal, then ended up with a more relaxed style.
