“Cycled into E’leigh. Got money out of Halifax and bought Dad’s present”
There’s that ‘cycling’ thing again.
The beauty of youth.
Dad’s birthday is tomorrow… want to know what present I got him?
It will probably make you laugh.
about a blog
I am a fifty-something ex-pat Brit transplanted into America’s Mid-West. When I finally got around to unpacking all the boxes I shipped across the Atlantic, I found the “schoolboy diaries” I dutifully wrote in during the 1970’s.
I decided, as a fun endeavour, to document, share and comment upon many of the diary entries.
Posts will be in chronological order starting in 1972 and will gently travel from my 14-year old insecure geeky phase through to my involvement in the UK ‘punk movement’ at the end of the decade.
I hope other people find the project to be entertainingThe Prologue
