I chose it through assciations stirred by my last entry on 'Kindred Spirits' (of which I never thought would lead to my father) That in turn caused me to remember how the good parts were with him - and his remarkable empathy with animals. After he left he lived in a caravan, completely self sufficient, and I can remember how he could bring a fox - of which, alongside Deer, there were still many in Kent,now all gone along with the woods) right up to us and talk to it until it sat down and appeared to understand completely. He was quite remarkable with animals and hopeless with people; a trait I am finding more and more of in myself.

I would love to have seen your father's work...
