My poetic ancestral journey from my Wulfrunian upbringing to The Kingdom of Fife in Scotland. Inspired by the land of my late dad, a Fifer who met my mother in Aldershot Military Hospital in the late1940's, married and settled in Wolverhampton.

It's been a fascinating journey that this laddie from Wolverhampton has travelled, taking into consideration that I was middle age when making my first visit to Fife.
