'As the eldest of three children, I had little one to one time with my Dad. The only memories I have of him being with me on my own was when he carried me to hospital after I had dislocated my shoulder and on a different occasion taking me to see the doctor because I was sick. This is the song he sang to me. The last time we sang it together was just before I left home to go to teacher training college. He was working as a truck driver at the time, delivering roofing tiles all over Britain. He took me on a two day trip to Wales and we sang this as we travelled. In this piece I am walking with my Dad, who always seemed like a giant when I was a little girl, along a street of terraced houses similar to the one I grew up in. I am wearing a red coat which I loved. It was just after the end of clothing coupons and rationing in England and was the first colourful piece of clothing I owned.' ~ Jackie Pendergast
