Unit1 My Father
I dont really know my father. He isnt easy to get on with. Hes quite self-centred, and a little bit vain, I think, and in some ways quite unapproachable. The public must think hes very easy-going, but at home he keeps himself to himself.
He cant have been at home much when I was a child, because I dont remember much about him. Hes always been slightly out of touch with family life. His work always came first, and he was always off somewhere acting or rehearsing. He loves being asked for his autograph, he loves to be recognised. He has won several awards, and hes very proud of that. He was made a Member of the British Empire, and we had to go to Buckingham Palace to get the medal. It was incredibly boring. There were hundreds of other people getting the same awards, and you had to sit there for hours. He shows off his awards to whoever comes to the house.
I went to public school, and because of my total lack of interest and non-attendance I was asked to leave. I didnt want to go there in the first place. I was taken away from all my friends. He must have been very pleased to get me into the school, but in the end it was a complete waste of money. I let him down quite badly, I suppose. I tried several jobs but I couldnt settle down in them. Then I realised that what I really wanted to do was live in the country and look after animals, so thats what I now do.
As a family, were not that close, either emotionally or geographically. We dont see much of each other these days. My father and I are totally different, like chalk and cheese. My interests have always been the country, but hes into books, music and above all, opera, which I hate. If they do come to see us, theyre in completely the wrong clothes for the country-mink coats, nice little leather shoes, not exactly ideal for long walks across the fields.
He was totally opposed to me getting married. He was hoping we would break up. Geralds too humble, I suppose. He must have wanted me to marry someone
