Bullington Castle Update

Introverted as a child I would lose myself in books while dreaming of becoming an author. When asked what I wanted to be when I left school I'd inwardly scream 'An Author' Only kids from my background weren't expected- or encouraged- to harbour unrealistic asperations. I became a carpenter apprentice on £2-10 shillings a week. Later I worked in the meat industry despite trying to avoid it, but it was here that I grew up and nurtured my off the wall humour via some of the craziest characters I ever knew. I spent the last ten years of my working life lecturing, training and assessing apprentices.
