Abstract

“Mrs. Ward, you have a fine son, but he’s a whopper!” I imagine my mother was already more than aware of the second observation, made by a doctor in the Yeatman Hospital in Sherborne shortly after my arrival in the world on the 3rd of October, 1963.

Notes

  1. 1.

  2. 2.

    Oware is a strategy game played in a circular sequence of pits using seeds or pebbles. It has multiple names and variants, and is sufficiently ancient that there is no certainty as to its origins. Among many origin stories is the traditional belief that an oware game between a man and woman took so long that they decided to marry in order to finish the game.

  3. 3.

    Voluntary Service Overseas is a charity placing volunteers in educational establishments to live and work alongside local educators to expand opportunities for children globally.
