Looking back is one thing, actually going back isn't quite what you may wish for.
Recently, I went to a funeral for an old chum. There were so many faces of friends from forty-fifty years ago, and sadly I hardly recognised them, and a chum said that nobody would have recognised me either, although the names are all the same.
It's all a bit recent, and hard to take actually.
Luckily, a charmed life with a lovely home family, then Mrs Growster and two girls and three grandchildren easily makes up for most of the harder times, but yes, the tin baths, the cold, no money for beer, no car for ages etc, may be the sum of my 'See-back-ro-scope' - 1/9 from Ellisdons - remember them)!
But it's still damned cold on 'The Patch', and winter veg still live up to their names...
