If you love a good yarn, this book is for you.This heart-warming, funny, jam-packed memoir of a life well-lived will entertain you from start to finish. The author's motivation to leave a wee record of his existence stems from a recurring memory of a winter's night sledging with family and friends. Wrapped up in mother's knitted woollens, filled to the brim with excitement, this young boy looked up into a myriad of stars and the softened light of a full moon. His feeling of awesome wonder and connection needs no explanation... a child of the universe with untangled quantum! He uses this same awesome wonder (and incredible storytelling skills) to reflect on his early childhood and adolescence, life at university and later at sea, his time working in Brazil, becoming a father and finding out he had a half-brother. Plus so much more.Beautifully written and filled with honesty, this compelling memoir captures his innermost thoughts through several milestones of his life. He talks of his health struggles, panic attacks and feelings of isolation at certain times. And he offers plenty of fascinating stories that will have you laughing, reflecting and shedding a tear or two in equal measure.
