To help the reader i must give a brief foundation or root cause to some of this waivering from what people call reality …in truth everything in this blog and the facebook updates are actually true but remarkably sound untrue ….. as they say look at the child and you will see the parents… my father is a very highly educated man but lacks a braod imagination my mother wont let us know if she was educated but the evidence points to a very active imagination …. throughout our lives my father like some innocent missionary trying save doomed souls would in fact tell us numerous truth..he has an extraordinary understanding of the facts and as children he would sit in his study and explain the world as he saw it and then point to the numerous books to back up his propositions. . in the dark light of his study six children would stare back at him in total disbelief…we knew he knew we did not accept any of it …..we would turn on our heels and slam the door firmly shut leaving him to reconsider the facts as he saw them….. my mother however with no ground to stand on would explain that she went out with the fifth Beatle possibly dated jimmy connors the tennis player….crows were responsible for missing items of clothing, she was able to talk to bees ,joey the robin lived in our garden for at least 17yrs and follwed us throughout three subsequent moves, all black and white telly programmes were suitable ,it was colourtelly that did most of the damage and all manner of harmful instructions regarding salt and vinegar crisps.. the list went and so long it was that it is embedded in our heads….again faced with post enlightenment reason with scholarlly support or pre-christain nonsense we went choose my mother path to truth….. and this is where the tricky bit was i believe my mother was suspicious of the truth and that it indeed would lead to underdeveloped minds she felt if a child handed over their child weary clothes to be washed and the child believed that perhaps these items might end up at the bottom of the garden buried among the leeks …this child believed would be better equpped for a world that only had just come to terms with one moon landing … the truth she said was more trouble than it is worth and how was she to know how the crows managed to get a shovel dig a hole and only bury trousers….all she knew was no one had a better explanation had they !!! still glad to have reached our early teens we learned our father cambridge education was no match for this logic and to this day my mother when challenged about her relationship with the Beatles replies Why do have bring up the past ? and you not happy with the present …..and before you say anything i dont know how they buried your pants .
