At Age 11 In 1960, I Moved

My Parents Were Born In Norfolk And Spent Their Early Years Working In The Big Houses Of That Rural English County, My Mother As A Cook And My Father As A Handyman And Chauffeur.

At Age 11 In 1960, I Moved To An Academic State Secondary School, Harrow County Grammar School For Boys.

It Was During My Time At Secondary School That I Abandoned Religion.

Scientific Understanding Is Often Beautiful, A Profoundly Aesthetic Experience Which Gives Pleasure Not Unlike The Reading Of A Great Poem.
