The Death of Welfare | Clarissa's Blog



Mike says he was allowed to run around as a kid and explore the environment freely. It was a rural environment, so he had two near scrapes with death, but seems to have made it out ok (unless the lump in my bed this morning is an illusion). When he was lonely his mother used to say, “Well just go out by yourself then.” My upbringing was pretty similar, but in this regard Rhodesia was still thirty years behind the rest of the Western world, hence the age gap between Mike and I.
