Took my grand daughter Poppy out for her first trip in the Stag today as she has now progressed to a stage 2 car seat. She wanted to know how to close the top window!
As we passed a local church with scaffolding around it, my daughter, when she was 5, asked me why the building was surrounded by the scaffolding. I answered that it was being repaired. She responded "why, is it broken?"
Later the same year, as we passed a statue of Charles Darwin in Shrewsbury, she asked me "Who's that daddy?" I explained that those who achieved greatness or who did good things when they were alive had statues of them erected after they died.
Six months later, we passed the Spitfire island outside the Castle Bromwich Jaguar factory where Spitfires were built during the war and a wonderful metal Spitfire monument is displayed. As the following seconds passed in silence, I remembered our discussion about the Darwin statue and wondered. Then the question came. "Daddy, are aeroplanes alive?"
