Hi, thank you.
Dad was sent away from his family at the age of 8 to go to a blind school in Shropshire, I thought initially that maybe he had suffered whilst there, but he spoke highly of this time and told me they were always kind to him, he tells stories how the soldiers used to visit the school and give them chocolate.
Dad has worked all his life and he has really worked hard on the land, being head gardener for local hospitals, he was also called upon as porter when various diseases broke out, the rest of the time he would be in the pub and if he was at home it usually was not pleasant. There would be violence/abuse to mum and us.
Dad was feared where we lived as he was strong and fuelled with alcohol, now things are different and I think that is why he has the tools/weapons, he is a very weak man.
Dad would not let me move the crowbar and spades, but he went off to look through his neighbours wheelie bins, so I gathered them up and hid them on the top floor.
