Roger was born in 1948 and adopted at birth. He was brought up in
the north-west London suburbs and enjoyed a carefree childhood in a
world totally different to that of today. Sent to a private Grammar
School because his socialist parents were so concerned at his lack
of academic ability, he was the only pupil in the history of the
School to become a Farm apprentice. Embracing the free-thinking of
the late sixties and early seventies, and concerned that many city
children did not know anything of rural life, he founded a
charitable society which gave country holidays for free to
disadvantaged city children and for a time lived a bohemian type of
life in a converted coach. He also founded and ran a successful
Youth Club and ran Gardening classes for the London Borough of
Harrow. After happily living with a lady twenty years older than
himself for thirteen years he then fell in love with and had a
daughter by a married lady his own age. His battle to be a part of
his daughter's life is vividly recorded in his story, and the
prejudice and sheer inhumanity of the Family Court system is
described in detail. Protests on roofs followed, plus standing for
election in Oxford East in 2010. Roger has also battled the
Planning system to enable him to stay on his smallholding in
Bedfordshire. This is an entertaining journey through his life with
many laugh-out-loud moments as well as the pathos surrounding the
loss of his only child. Roger has been married for twenty years to
Rosa and lives and works on his smallholding as well as driving a
local school bus. He still works for parents and children's rights
and is a vocal campaigner against child abuse in all its forms.
