The book also covers parts of my life that I feel would be of interest to others, for example I was a bare back rider with Billy Smarts Circus, I lived in a slum as a kid although my great Grandmother was Lady Davenport and my great grandfather Sir Henry Davenport, the Sherriff of London, they lived in and owned a house in Grosvenor Square which is now an Embassy,He was one of the richest, and most powerfull men in the country, there is a photo in my book of my Great Grandparents .
