This book is about the varied life experiences of Geoffrey Ralph Wood born in rural Hertfordshire UK in 1926. Each chapter is complete in itself recounting a time period or theme. There is a rich mix of romance, grief, humour, hope and faith. He received no formal schooling from before the age of eleven but had the confidence to make life work whatever the obstacle. A simple quiet faith exploded into a vibrant spirituality by an out-of-this-world visionary experience at the age of sixty-six, which is the climax of Geoff’s story. Geoff was the youngest child of four born into a farming community. Life was tragically disrupted aged four, when his parent’s marriage ended. The family, of two boys and two girls, was divided and he moved with his mother and eldest sister to urban Newport S Wales. There were many changes of address. Farm life - horses - romance - employment situations - comic episodes - air-raids and three impressionable years in the army are remembered. In midlife his life totally collapsed; he lost his wife, home and employment. But he fought back with a natural faith and sense of optimism to rebuild his life in a brand new beginning. No children came but in 1993 aged sixty-six years old, after moving from N Wales to N Shropshire, he had a fantastic unsought for visionary experience that wonderfully and totally changed his life. Prior to this he had no religious background. He retired with his second wife Dorothy to Ellesmere Shropshire. This book is written to inspire hope and faith, with much human interest and a laugh or two!
