Birth

I was born at home in 23 Bird's Close, Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire England.
When Dec 19, 1955
Where Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire

My earliest memory is of the white trellis over the front door - I was lying on my back in the pram and gazing up at it!

I also remember playing in the newly laid tarmac round the corner and getting told off when I got home for getting tar on my shoes.

We moved as a family to Dumfries in Scotland, since my father, Richard senior,  was offered a good package to work in the Imperial Chemical Industries Plastics Division there as an inspector. My mother, Elizabeth senior, raised us four children ( Elizabeth was born in 1954, Seán in 1957 and Bridget was born in 1963), but returned to teaching as we became old enough.

Lewis Carroll describes a fictional map that had:

"the scale of a mile to the mile."

A character notes some practical difficulties with such a map and states that:

"we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well."
— Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, Lewis Carroll, 1893
