About Fidelis
Due to a quirk of fate Fidelis Morgan was born in a red gypsy caravan, Kiomi Romani, which stood in a corner of the grounds of the ancient Abbey of Amesbury, halfway between Stonehenge and Woodhenge.
The Caravan
Baby pictures
Here’s some photos of me as a newborn with my Mama and Gunter, my nanny, in the field outside the caravan. the last photo shows a cheerful me, despite having been in a nasty car crash, which almost led to my losing an eye and got me 24 stitches – a rare thing in those days. Fortunately we lived right by the RAF hospital where they specialised in plastic surgery.
