Who Are You?

Writer. Musician. Artist. Bloodline geek. Who are you? Who am I?

Windows 7

Finally found the right programme for Kindle publishing. This is for the childrens book I wrote two years ago. But...

I don’t get Windows... ever. Give me Apple. *Weeps for old Mac*.

This is my writing/thinking place. The sun falls here just right. I am just doing some work now... In the sun. That really is the life.

John.

So, I am releasing my contact name today... I was just on the phone to John Levene who played Sergeant Benton in Doctor Who. I met him last week at a convention. He is such a lovely man. I told him about my connection to Barry Letts and that's when he gave me his number. So we've just been having a chat about Barry and the time that he spent with him. It's just so lovely talking to him, and he obviously had a great relationship with my uncle. I hope in the future calls we can discuss more stories about how he was on set, his personality and more about their time together. It is exciting. I am also trying to get in touch with some of the producers that were in the BBC around the same time as him to see if any of them worked with him. It's so sad that all that side of the family is gone, yet I feel that that is the side I am most close to genetically. I will give you some back story at some point as to how this all began. But at the moment the question remains; Who are you? Who am I?

Progress

My Goodness, I actually got something done, Including looking at my family Tree and records. 

Now sifting old newpaper articles. I seem to have lost all track of the time and I can’t remember the last time I was so engaged. This is good. This is work that is good.

Scary Moment.

Well it’s nearly a week since I met my “Who?” contact. Can’t believe its only a week, it feels like ages ago. I haven’t given it a huge amount of thought as I’ve been working on my ‘mind over matter’ pain relief. It’s strange, since I met him I’ve felt so much better. Just the warmth I felt. 

Now the scary bit. I have to ring him either tonight or tomorrow. 

Other than that I’m trying to format my children’s book and figure out how Windows 7 works. O_o

News soon I hope.

And so it begins?

I set this blog up, oh, ages ago. When the idea had struck me fresh and new. The idea? Well for that you need a little background; I am a geek, but not by choice. It’s in my blood, I can’t help it, I can’t stop it. You see my blood carries a secret. I am the great niece of Barry Letts, the producer and writer of 70’s Doctor Who, Blake’s 7 and many other projects.

Sadly I never met Barry because my family fell out with him long before he was known and even longer before I was even a twinkle. They disapproved of his career choice.

I did attempt to contact him in his last few years of his life but to no avail. The more I learnt of him, especially after his death, the closer I wanted to be. I wanted to find him and in that same sense find me.

You see I’m the “strange” one in my family. I’m not like them, but the more I learn of Barry the more I think I know where I sprang from. I want to know who he was, who I am and today, after a lot of trying to jumpstart the idea, I had my first breakthrough. So just back to the idea for a moment… Basically I want to write a book about Barry with the personal perspective of finding myself too. It’s a tall order, but I think it could be marvellous.

Today I met someone, some one who knew my Uncle and we both rocked each other’s worlds. I think now I’m ready to start the journey I have been planning for so long.

Fingers crossed.
