If he were ever teased about his hair loss, my father would say,
“Grass doesn’t grow on a busy street.”
I remembered his blue-black hair. When I had googled blue-black, it had suggested Romany. This would have made perfect sense as he had many generations of ancestry in the New Forest.

I try to embrace all parts of my personality.
