Oh Rita! I’m sure your literary perspicacity is wasted on my meanderings, but having said that I’ll take your compliment with true British grace.

. . . . Ruby…it’s far from being brilliantly written. In fact it’s just the opposite. . . .

It was carefully written, personally authentic. Contains, or hints at as much insight as I can muster for now.

Brilliance, however is subjective and thus a real compliment, thank you Ruby it means a lot.

I spent the first 11 years or so of my life as “the Englishman”: the first person in my family born in England. People of all types would identify me with the country of my birth – “But I was born here!” seemed to stop people who said “why don’t you go back to your own country?” in their tracks. I did experience racism, but all English people…[Read more]
