My father was a- a lawyer, a barrister, who, through my childhood, repeatedly stood for Parliament and never got in. He didn't get in until the 1940, when was it, '45 election or was it '46? Then- and after that he was a Member of Parliament. And- but what were we going on about? Yes, that was in London. And my mother was a writer so she could work anywhere. She was attached- very much attached to Scotland for- for old family reasons and they bought a large house in Scotland in, I think, 1938, and from then on lived mostly there.
