Dad and Me....

....Many many moons ago..in fact another lifetime....I think I was about 22 in this shot.

I was looking through some family pics and came across this....not much time for blipping tonight so thought I would post this lovely memory.
Every year or so Dad and I would sit up all night discussing and debating......he would tell me that white was black just to see my reaction........ to listen to my reasoning why I believed it was white.

Born in the poorer part of London under the auspices of the Bow Bells and self educated .....my Dad would always blow me away with his knowledge. I treasure those times....and ...like him I left school early and started to self educate..........(the education system was too confusing for me arriving in Australia at 14 years of age even though the entry tests confirmed I had high IQ......4 schools  later......in a short period of time....I got expelled doing stupid things trying to make friends...as you do).

Anyhoo I digress....I think this image of us shows our closeness but at the same time with our sparring faces on.
