Produktbeschreibung

This is a story about growing up in Birmingham just after the second World War. It describes my early years, my time at Handsworth Grammar School and my early working life at the Dunlop Rubber Company. It leads onto an early disastrous marriage which culminates with me getting away from it all by joining the R.A.F. Whilst in that service I spent six months in Central America where a lot of extraordinary things happened and describes my postings at other R.A.F. stations including the wonderful but no longer in existence R.A.F. Little Rissington. The story also tells of my athletics career during my early life. Later a second marriage to a women I met on an Open University course and who I tried to live the "Good Life" with in Lincolnshire, also collapses after I spent a brief period in Lincoln prison. Around this time I become very political and anti-establishment but also very "green".I start living as a bit of a recluse on a narrowboat near Tamworth that I had fitted out myself after having driven the bare shell down the Trent from Doncaster where it had been built. Later I find my present and long term partner and both of us enjoy train journeys through Scandinavia and also France before we both encounter strange family reunions...in my case an extremely ironic one!
