Twilight Sunshine
is a bit tricky to explain. It grew out of times
prior to those chronicled in ‘The Mucky Ducks’
yet the memories, at times, were triggered by
events in that book.
However, this new book is not in any way alike
to that story, which told of two and a half decades
as a mercenary, rather this goes back to a time
and a place just post WW11 and an English village
far from the sea.
I have been told by so called ‘experts’ that a
man’s adult life is shaped by his childhood. All
I can say to that is “What a lot of rubbish”,
I had a great childhood and still managed to turn
out a ‘wrong ‘un’. There again perhaps we are
shaped by our ancestors, in this regard I did
have a few villains mixed in the bunch.
Anyway, these stories are mainly from childhood,
for the most part jogged back into life by events
from the years of The Mucky Ducks. There again,
it just may be that with the years drawing to
end, my Id is escaping to a long ago time when
things were less complicated. Back to a time when
you didn’t have to think too much – I was never
good at thinking, it always gave me headache and
usually I ended up with the wrong answer to any
problem.
