I have always regretted not doing what my twin brother did in his teens....accepting an apprenticeship with a classic boat builder. I didn’t want to disappoint my recently widowed mother and went to university instead.
And in later years, now I have a wonderful partner and as a result am a “grandfather”to some equally wonderful young kids, I look back and wish I’d not been so career focussed and selfish and had children. I’m now having the time of my life.
