The MM Links Game - May Week 4
50 Answers
May I bid you a very Summery welcome to the fourth and penultimate week in the reign of “Sir Robin of Linksley” (aka Aquagility).
Working forever in inverse chronological order, I regress to my childhood! Apart from the water and its boats, my family had virtually no tradition of activity. We didn’t walk much, or run, or play games. There was no interest in music (Mother had a record of “The Londonderry Air”, as I remember, but until well into middle age I thought it was called “The London Derrière”!). Great literature was reserved for school, so I never developed a taste for Shakespeare or Dickens. Sad.
I don’t remember at what age I acquired my first boat, but my mother used to boast that her children first learned to swim, then to row and later to walk. I was eight when I first went to school, and by then I was expected to be able to row myself across the wide and unforgiving estuary of our river, with its vicious tides and the constant traffic of dinghies, yachts, ferries, tripper boats and quite large coasters!
