Rebbonk in 1934 I was 7,years old my Dads sister with her husband visited us, after a few minutes of chatter he turned to me and said what's the book your reading, I answered IVANHOE, he said that's fiction a made up story but the way they lived is real, he turned to my parents, your boy is seven but what days his is birthday? Mother: "7th of July", OMYG he said 7.7.27 he thought for a moment, I would like to take him somewhere if that's o.k with you, get him dressed smart on Saturday morning and meet me at the tram stop, well we met caught the tram to Broadgate walked down to Warwick road, the house was unreal the walls coloured in orange, there were little motifs on the wall and numbers and there was number seven, a triangle and square, A pure and perfect number.The symbol of life, it unites the four elements of the body, with three elements of the soul, he told me the building was a lodge.I saw it again in the little old church in Carmelite Monastery at the foot of Mount Carmel. So from the time after the first Crusade(1119 ) to a Coventry masons lodge of the 20th century ? I do have a picture the Carmelite Monastery, at the foot of Mount Carmel (when my son visits shortly he can put it on here.)
