With his father out of work; like many men at that time, it was a struggle to feed a growing family. Life was not idyllic, but he was clothed and fed adequately, had many friends in similar circumstances to himself and attended school from the age of four. After a stroke in 1981 he retired and eventually moved out of Sydney to the South Coast of NSW. By that time he had started to collect grandchildren and great grandchildren. Writing for them gave an added pleasure to an already enjoyable pastime. In 2000 he achieved a burning ambition, he built his own home on a large plot of land where he lives today, still writing.
