Gay your life must be
“My Dad’s got itchy feet” I would say. I don’t know where I first heard this phrase, but I parroted it often as a child, a vague but sufficient explanation for the fragmented answers I offered to “where did you….” questions. The assumption was that we were a military family. When I went to Sixth Form College and completed the full two years without moving, I set a personal record for time spent at any one educational institution. But we were not a military family. We were a family governed by a restless soul, for better and worse, and now, well into my adulthood, I am the restless governor of a home loving family.

The Legend of big Foot
Bigfoot, otherwise known as Sasquatch, is one of the most resilient myths that exist in the North American folklore. The narrative revolving around this bizarre entity that has always been described as a huge, shaggy, apelike man walking on two legs has fascinated believers and non-believers for ages. It is believed that even though there is no concrete scientific proof backing its existence, people still talk about ‘’Bigfoot’’ due to many reports made by eyewitnesses including photographs as well as clips purporting to reveal its actual appearance.
