Michael Hale Bullock1

Michael Hale Bullock
     Michael Hale Bullock was born on 19 April 1918 in Rossetti Cottage, Mill Hill, London, England, the cottage was opposite St Michael's Church.2,3,4 He was the son of Herbert Stanley Billingsley Bullock and Katherine Frances Wortham. In his first year Michael ost his mother to the Spanish 'flu epidemic following the First World War. He was then brought up by her sister, his wonderful Auntie Aylmer, a most artistic and talented dancer, teacher, who had a great sense of integrity and enthusiasm. She nurtured Michael with sensitivity and abundant love with the help of ever-present grandparents in the earliest years. He was surrounded by books and art and was a fluent reader at the early age of three. Of reading he said. "I cannot remember how I learnt to read I just remember always being able to read".
His first school was reached by a walk from home, through a lane bounded by fields. Here he developed a love of learning and language. Before the age of eight he studied French and Latin which ignited his fascination of languages which was to last all his life. His early sketchbooks also show his talent and love of visual art.
At eight he boarded at St. Michael's Prep School, Uckfield, Sussex, where he prospered academically and then on to Stowe where he received excellent teaching and encouragement in languages, art, and in particular English from the distinguished writer T.S. White. It was here in the magnificent grounds of Stowe that his love of nature inspired him to write his first poems and other creative works, which were received with enthusiasm by T.S. White.
A trip to Germany when Michael was in his late teens, with his father who was on leave from India, brought him into contact with Ernst Feider a young writer who was to be an influence on Michael. At the same time, in the same town, his wife to be, Lotte Schneller, writer, artist and sociologist, was also staying. However they did not meet then.4 Michael had a damaged ear drum from diving in a swimming pool, and also vertigo from inner ear damage so was exempt from conscription in WW2. He worked his passage by boat to India, where he would spend a year visiting his father and stepmother. While in India he explored the Himalayas on horseback, visited out of the way places, and very met interesting people from many walks of life.
Michael met Lotte in 1939 in Hampstead, London. Lotte was a newly arrived Jewish refugee from Berlin. At that time, Michael was working to help the Jews to get out of Natzi Germany. Their love of language, literature, art, and their idealistic political views and humanitarian ideals brought them together. They both joined The Progressive League with other likeminded people. The pressures of the war years were tough for them as for so many others. Lotte and Michael provided a home for her young brother who had come out of Berlin on a kinder transport. They were soon to have their own two children, Miriam and Marcus.5,4 He married Charlotte Schneller in 1941 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales.6 He studied at Hornsey College of Art. From 1952-1968, he worked as a freelance writer and translator. In 1968, Michael Bullock came to Canada as a Commonwealth Fellow at UBC, encouraged to teach at the university by J. Michael Yates. "The name Vancouver meant almost nothing to me," he once recalled. "I looked it up in the Encyclopedia Britannica, where I read that 'Stanley Park is the largest urban park in the world.' I immediately cabled my acceptance of the invitation."4 Charlotte Bullock died in 1980 In the latter years of their marriage their paths went in different directions. At the age of 50, Michael was invited to be a visiting professor in the department of Creative Writing and Translation at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver BC. There was always a high level of communication between Michael and Lotte. At the end of her life he took a years sabbatical from the university to be with her. Michael's three grandchildren Susannah, Zoe and Daniel were a great enrichment to his life.5 His last two years were spent in England living with his family, with whom he was so pleased to celebrate his 90th birthday on the 19th of April 2008. He enjoyed the company of the younger generations and in particular that of his young great granddaughter Gabrielle who shared his love of visual art, stories, nature, and the beloved walled garden.4 Michael died on 18 July 2008 in Harrow hospital, Harrow, London, England, aged 90 He was a poet, author, translator and artist and was survived by his daughter Miriam, son Marcus, granddaughters Susannah and Zoe, grandson Daniel, and great-granddaughter Gabrielle. It is understood that his ashes will be buried at the foot of the butterfly bush in Mim's garden - a bush and garden so dear to Michael's heart and so important in his work.3

In the Methodist church Ministers are assigned to ‘circuits’ (that can have one or more churches) for a period of 3 years. I was informed in 2016 that there had been a recent change in the rules that now allowed the church members to invite them to stay for a further 2 years. Then they move on to a new circuit. Thus preventing stagnation in the church. Due to poor health James was assigned as a supernumerary to the Sheffield East circuit. i.e. a permanent position not a 3 year assignment (A Supernumerary, I am led to believe means his appointment exceeded the usual number of Ministers). His daughter was still staying with him.11,5 James died on 31 October 1861 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, aged 69.3,12 James was buried in November 1861 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England.3
