KING GEORGE BY ROY BEAGLEY.
|
DIARY FOR APRIL.
Well a busy month this month, off to the UK in a few days for a week of seeing friends and doing research for my new book. Then it is Easter and I am certainly up for a ham and some dauphinoise potatoes although I rather like Lighthouse potatoes that are similar to dauphinoise but need a little more attention in the cooking process. A ham at Easter brings back memories of gran and granddad coming for the day plus my maternal aunt and uncle and cousins. My paternal aunt and uncle also used to come but they moved away to Whitstable and you know what it is like traveling at Easter.
Easter does not hold many "good" memories from my youth, being not particularly religious meant no church services during the Easter period. Shops were
closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday and I seem to recall precious few buses were available and that made getting anywhere a tad difficult. Television was boring, only two channels for a long time and usually it was The Robe, Spartacus or some other film that told Jesus's story.
Oh well, we'll see but for now, time to pack and to any thieves out there, don't bother, the house is fully staff as usual - and that includes at least one hidden camera!
He went to Green Street Green Infants school where he learned how to pour water from one jug into another jug, count to ten and spell the word dog. From there it was onto Vine Road School where he spectacularly failed his eleven plus and as a result was sent to what was commonly and locally called Charterhouse. Sadly it was not THE Charterhouse School but this popular confusion between schools resulted in more than one employment later in life.
At school he was told he would never amount to anything, was terrible at writing and could not form a sentence verbally or otherwise.
After leaving school at 15 and working at various temporary jobs, he joined The Economist Newspaper in London in the circulation department. After two years he moved on to run the north American subscription section.
Leaving The Economist in 1983 he went to South Publications for nearly five years and then to The Spectator magazine for a further five years.
In 1992 he moved to the United States to get married and eventually joined his wife and sister-in-law's advertising agency designing direct mail for various clients as well as running the day-to-day circulation and marketing for various publishers around the world. Roy worked on many direct mails and renewal campaigns.
Technically he retired in 2000 and spent time developing radio programs for various stations and also writing his first book, published in March 2023.
Currently he is working on two further books, a continuation of King George set shortly after the second world war and also an original thriller provisionally called To Take a King.
Roy lives in Danbury in Connecticut with his wife Elaine and their pride and joy Mac, their cat who spends every day ignoring them except to be fed or petted or sleep on.
