There is a tale that my grandfather wrote about an event in his early life. It tells the story of a 120-mile journey, largely on foot, from Birmingham to Ealing that he made with his father. I’ll replicate the story on these pages but I want to join my grandfather on that voyage. Some parts of the journey I have already visited and one day I would like to walk in his steps but for now I’ll share his words.

An introduction, in my grandfather’s own words, can be read here.
