It made me think again of my own father, a great man 75% of the time, a stroppy old bugger for the rest, who died nearly forty years ago but is still spoken of with awe in the little town in Bucks in which he lived. He still sometimes visits me, though I never know which of his many moods he will be in. But I'm ready for him, don't you worry!Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-25898580532588189542015-04-10T18:03:04.082+01:002015-04-10T18:03:04.082+01:00Lovely piece.

Of course it brought back memories of my own dad and the comparisons I always make between the easiest and most privileged of lives I've had and the hard one he had to live - his best years spent in the navy in wartime, then working all hours to keep us all. He only made it to 44 and the only piece of writing I have of his is his last letter to mum in which, among other things, he urged her to make me take my application for university more seriously.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-65222560303464969102015-04-10T11:03:14.325+01:002015-04-10T11:03:14.325+01:00Loved this, Karen.

Reminded me so much of my own Dad, who repaired electrical motors for a living, but had a lively interest in almost everything.<br /><br />It would be much easier to list the things he wasn't interested in. Football for one (but a passing interest and knowledge even there.)<br /><br />And, er - I can't think of another subject he didn't have <i>some</i> interest in...Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-75035188648947767402015-04-10T10:40:29.365+01:002015-04-10T10:40:29.365+01:00 A lovely tribute to your lovely dad Karen, and to...

Employment was his big problem. he was an innovator and inventor who'd left school at 14 and was militantly anti people he considered to be over-privileged. which led to many sackings. i've let him slip from my mind, really, because we didn't ever get on all that well. this post makes me think it might be time to re-engage the brain.
