Barred from studying A level English (for girls), Geography (what will you do but teach) or Biology (not a proper subject). As a wrecked Dad, we brought up our two in a very different manner - though both onto Camb is unusual

I was put up against a wall and physically & emotionally threatened against applying to study archaeology age 17. It was determined which A levels and mngt degree I would study (neither my interest). Life has lots of environment & genetic stuff. After 45 years, finally - the lifelong buzz & love

An arguement is that land type doesn’t influence societal change. We rented on a working farm for 30 years. Our farmer understood the differences between every field - clay, bogged, stoney, warmth, and adjusted regime accordingly

I write for our County Vernacular Building Group newsletter. Four quarterly pieces now on literature / reading lists (see CVBG newsletter online). Deep into origins of field systems, many camps of view, and village development.
