Hey where did this come from. Thanks model mates very kind.

Just had my youngest grandson around to give me presents. Nice to be a member of a family.

Yes reached this grand age of ------- wait for it 75. Youch where have all those years gone. I know I have just tried to fit in more than there are hours & days.

I always say that Hitler with his bombs, doodle bug & the V2 failed to find me. He tried hard.

Over in London to see my youngest son, 33 I think, a few weeks back. Took him one day down to visit Sir Winston's House, Chartwell. I thought as I walked around what a great life I have had to now & how proud I am to be British & an Englishman. It has been an incredible era and I have had the luck to have Pauline by my side during most of this time. Met 60 married 61. Just now got loads & loads to come for the rest of my years.

As an as an aside if you have not been to Chartwell please go. It is incredible to think that Churchill, with all his fame, lived in this just lovely family house. Nothing pretentious, no vulgarity just a very pleasant very comfortable house in which he & Clementine were happy.

Thanks.

Thanks Gregg. My mother was a Hull girl & I spent about 9 months during world war11 at South Coates Lane School when evacuated from London. Grandma lived in Brindley Street at the end of was & is East Park. Happy days in the park. They had at that time a structure down which came a rowing boat at speed into a lake at the bottom.

Sorry Laurie, I think it is still before midnight in the UK but I'm not sure whether you are on UK or European time! Anyway a very happy birthday to you. I hope you enjoyed the day and have many more to come.

By the way I was born in Hull as well. Can't remember much about it now though.

[Guest]

Thanks Ian & Richard. Very nice of you.

When I first saw Hull about the end of 1944 it was desolate in some places as it had been bombed to hell. They targeted the docks along the river Hull. Matter of interest it is to give it's proper title Kingston upon Hull.
