I was gripped by another radio programme yesterday. This time it was Desert Island Discs with Rory Stewart
I will not attempt to record anything about this young mans life story here. Kirsty Young struggled to craft it into a 45 minute interview
But I was struck by similarities & parallels with Blue sky July
Superficially a very different story. This was a young man from a very privileged background (Eton etc)
What they have in common is the intensity of their connections to their experiences of the world
And, the importance of love. The love that Rory Stewart has for his father (& vice versa) shone through
