The Life of an English born Kiwi
living undercover as as Australian
Without bringing you to tears in this movie script, let me tell you about Andrew Pitchford. This Yorkshire born, kiwi bred and now Aussie citizen has breached the hill of 40 and stands afoot, ready to take the world. Living with my incredible family, I am enjoying the high life in Brisbane, Australia. My beautiful, adorable, smoochable wife Cheryl and four amazing children keep me on my toes, learning and loving, learning and loving, learning and loving. We have the privilege of having two girls and two boys. WOW, they are so beautifully unique and make me very proud.
So, where did it all begin? Apart from the things I can't remember, let me bore you with some levels of mediocrity. I do remember going to school in England. Apparently I began at the age of 4. It was in October of 1972 that we departed the fair shores of England via Southampton to begin our six week water trek to New Zealand. My Great Uncle and Aunt, Tom and Win were resident there making it a great target for my Mum and Dad. Arriving in Auckland we made our way to Te Awamutu which would be come home for the next 22 years.
Funny things stick in the memory. I know that My Uncle Ron and Aunty Kath followed us with their girl, my cousin Janine, the next year in 1973. One thing that sticks in my mind is when I was woken around 3am with my younger brother Nigel for the early morning trip in a hired yellow mini for the two hour run to Auckland to meet them at the port. New Zealanders will know the irony of the 'Goodbye Pork Pie' movie that made yellow mini's famous.
You will find I had a love of the movies from a young age. Sitting in front of a 'Group Rentals' Phillips then PYE TV all day each weekend watching Black & White movies has had an extremely positive effect on my life. Now the ability to recognise actors, actresses and directors is a skill the average movie goer has to buy a guide for. For me, it is a guide to life. The ability to recognise a bad movie at 40 paces is not to be sneezed at.
Tune in next week for more of the same.
