My Life
The Early Years
- 1963
- 04 September
- On this day, I was born at a very early age.
- This must have been one of the highlights of my life and like many more
times to follow, I was not in a fit state to remember much about it !!!
- 1968
- My earliest memory.
- I started school today, the teacher said "Sit here for the present".
I am still waiting for my present !!!
- 1975
- Big day - New school.
- Gone are the days of the Bobbington high life, its time to move on to the civilized
world of Comprehensive school.
- I never did find out why Grey house wore yellow football strips. Anyone
who went to Edgecliffe school reading this who could shine a light on this
mystery, please get in touch.
