Posted are videos nos 11 and 12 of my recollections
and life story. The previous 10 are on my YouTube channel.
Eventually there will be in all some 50
uploaded - there were some 12-14 hours of filming end of 2014.
The initial intention was to use the recordings as an aide memoire to
the writing of three books that are in the pipeline for this year and next, but
it was decided to place the video recordings on the channel as well, albeit
that they are home video recordings.
They are being uploaded over the coming year – about one a week.
There were no rehearsals or retakes - all therefore are unedited.
Inevitably therefore some events might be not accurately recalled in
datelines etc but I will correct any such errors in the books.
