As I lay in bed with summer pjs on, windows open and wait for the over night low of 10 to arrive I listen to the last few voices around the campfire. I hear Peter, Di and Will fairwell Ronnie. Comments from Geoff begin to float on the air too. No surprise that Will's out there till the end, he is most evenings. Of course if he's not there at the beginning the question is asked - Where's ....?, and here's the thing, it could be any of a number of names. Let's see if I can remember just some of the names he's earned since arriving three weeks ago.
Noddy
Young William
Long William
Tall Will
Kenworth William
The Kid
Kenworth Will with his side kick Peter
Billiam
Billy
Gorilla (Have you heard the one about the gorilla and the lion?)
Boss
The Ape
The moveable ladder
All are called with great affection and good humour. I'm quite sure I will be revisiting this page and adding to it as my memory returns and the list of names grow.
