Jack & Gill Windmills on Pilgrim’s Way
..................When I arrived I
saw this Daimler Double-Six in the car park.
“Must be the
parents of the Section 136.”
A mismatch: Daimler and Section 136!............................
Father ran a very
successful shipping insurance company and mother was the head of the
mathematics department at a top girl’s school.
Their nice big country house was very near to where I lived. It was part of a bigger farm, but the owner
sold them the main house together with some farm land, where they kept a few
horses for riding.
They had an older
son who was a high flier and was a successful management consultant. Cocaine and other drugs eventually got the
better of him and he had been in and out of rehab.
“That is why Kate
would not touch any drug.”
“Annabel, our
second child, went to Oxford to study anthropology but attempted suicide twice in her
second year. She never completed her
degree and we have built a separate cottage at the gate for her. Unfortunately she turned to alcohol and went
through the alcohol addiction programme a few times at a premier rehab centre
in Kent. Not quite the same as the one
her brother tried. She is good on the horse when she is not drunk.”
“That is why Kate would not drink.”..........
...........I explained to mother Kate's condition and our plan. Our plan was to start her on Lithium and virtually nothing else, despite some depression like symptoms............

Reading his memoir is eye opening, and at times therapeutic. It was like meeting up with a learned old friend, as you sit with him and listen while his memories and ideas overflow. You travel with him as his stories move from continent to continent, from detailed episodes to gentle remarks, from freshly harvested catches to gourmet preparations, from ancient finds to modern scientific research ......
A most delightful read.
