And there were stories about him that made me think about him differently.
So, for example, his colleague, Dave Clark, who was a fellow lecturer, said that dad, it was a cold, dark morning and my dad walked in with a black eye.
And Dave said, what's happened, guy?
And my dad said, well, I thought because there was snow on the ground, I would do an experiment where I blindfold myself and I try to walk in a straight line because I'll be able to take the blindfold off and see how straight the line was.
And then he smashes his face on a goalpost from the football and he takes the blindfold off and all he can see is all these circles where he's gone round and round and round in the snow.
And my dad was very eccentric.
I didn't really realise that until...
after he died that because we just I just saw him as my dad and I now think that thing of being eccentric or being creative is a very precious thing do you not think that some of that to your dad's being eccentric has rubbed up on you yeah I think it has but I don't see it it took my daughter to say come on yeah so it took my daughter to say dad you know you say you say your dad's excited yeah I know I know how was your house growing up
Small house, cheme, sorry, boring cheme.
But now, obviously, as you get older, you long for the boring places because you see peace and quiet as being things that you want.
But at the time, it seemed to be just so grey and dreary.
When my kids look at my photos of my childhood in the 60s and 70s, and they say, oh, God, they're black and white.
The photos aren't black and white.
The whole world was black and white then, yes.
And my mum had lots of people around, sort of church groups, and I think they had Tupperware parties and stuff like that.
My dad built this treehouse in the garden.
This thing was 12 foot high.
No, we stayed the night in it.
We all slept in it one night with my dad.
It was lovely.
