i always avoided this section, dunno why, i guess i felt as though i was showing off if i wrote anything bout ME, but then i earn a living showing off so what am i on about?
got brought up in an old blue van, a commer walk through with circus written on the side in big yellow letters, and huge stars raining down the side. me dad, David, and me mam jill, were clowns...called Turkey Sandwich and Wild Ruby. I still have me mums cossies in me closet. My dad had a big red nose made out of a tennis ball...i still remember how it smelt, paint and sweat. He had big shoes and long hair, and wrote stories all the time. My mum was a white face, and a signwriter, and beautiful.
They would busk on beaches and me and my sister Silkie would sit quietly on the side, silent an proud. Sometimes bottling for 10p's
we lived in fields, sometimes in the winter it was so cold our washing would stand up like walls. But we were always warm, and fed and clean.
We had a goose called rhiannon, A dog, two goats, a hampster, a rabbit and a pole cat. I don't think we had them all at the same time...The pole cat would steal little toys and hide them under the bed. We travelled a lot, mum taught us to read but then we had to go to school but it was not a positive experience, for us so called Gypsies, with matching red tights and little wellies. It was too hard for 70's kids to understand i guess?
Shall i do more?
