The Celestial Sea Voyages
The Laird of the household is an ebullient, eternally youthful and generous man. As a young boy he excelled in all sports -- and still does -- especially rugby. He grasps every chance to participate in anything sporty with a single-mindedness that leaves everyone else literally ‘holding the baby’. He is of solid build and medium height; a true Celt with his auburn hair and trim beard, often to be found wearing eccentric, tartan trews and funny hats with an extremely obedient spaniel by his side. He is a much-loved character and tends to take centre stage, needing high accolade from the immediate community for his sense of identity and self-esteem. He possesses a remarkable energy, matched only by a surprising ability to switch off completely. I often tease him about his lack of ‘middle mode.’ I sometimes wonder if this extreme pace indicates a reluctance to face deeper issues. His ability to endlessly talk and prove his point of view gives him a big advantage over his students but can come across as over-bearing and bull-headed amongst his peers, especially those of the female gender. This side of his character is gaining strength as he matures, to the point where even I find it difficult to put across any opinion. This developing trait is giving me some concern for the future. I hope a degree of humility and a softer edge might appear with a move to the other side of the world.
