My Dad in 1975, being interviewed in our Land Rover by a 49 year old David Attenborough about the Chillingham Wild White Cattle. My Dad was the warden for the Cattle Park and was two years older than David. Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough
When this picture was taken, my dad had been the warden for the Chillingham Wild White Cattle for a bit under 3 years. He had previously been working in a factory, as an Ice Cream Man, on a Fishing Boat, and in the Merchant Navy.
Somehow, at 48 years old he was able to switch from factory life in the urban sprawl of Tyneside to country life in one of the remotest parts of England. My mam, dad, me (not even 1 years old at the time), two brothers and a sister moved from a brick built semi on a busy road, to a small stone cottage surrounded by fields and woodland.
The move gave him and my mam a completely new life, and gave me an amazing childhood.
