Bob was born and bred in Evesham. He grew up in a house on Greenhill that was built in 1840 as the Cockatoo Inn – first and last stop for a glass of ale. Bob has just published his latest collection of poetry ‘Another Lad of Evesham Vale.’ This echoes the title of the Fred Archer novel published in 1972. The collection features poetry written in the local dialect ‘Asum Grammar’. Bob has also produced a CD to accompany the collection. He has recently been recorded for the Worcestershire Archives. I have some questions for Bob. Q When did your interest in nature start? A From an early age, as soon as we were let Q What were your best subjects at school? outside. I have carried that interest and developed it all through my life and will A I loved Nature study, the sciences & later continue to do so as long as I am able. You Botany & Zoology. I hated English, never stop learning. particularly Poetry. Q What was Evesham like when you were Q What was your childhood like? growing up? A When people hear my poems they say it A A small, quiet market town with fruit and must have been idyllic.
