Markie - a beautiful piece of writing. Love the threading of the different themes around your Dad: life and death; mankind and wildlife; freedom and imprisonment; past and future. Didn't know you hung out with the young Linford. Beautiful detail about Mo being at the centre of a family party, in his final hours. Chapeau!
Thank you Ad, I didn't know where this piece was going when I put pen to paper (old school, me) and in some ways I was surprised where it ended up. Much obliged to you. And I've just noticed that you yourself have posted recently so I am heading over there now....x
Thank you Dru. And the most unexpected places too. If you had said to me ten years ago that Wormwood Scrubs would become somewhere with such meaning to me, I would have laughed at you

It is extraordinary how places can become filled with stories. Thanks for sharing about your dad.
