When I Was Younge

A Memory of Harrow Weald.

I lived in Belsize road born there in 1946 at number 33 I had a great life growing up with all the kids in the street,
The games you could play with one Tennis ball and the park and the park keeper we gave him hell poor man, we called him hoppy as he had a wooden leg I think anyway going up Blue bell woods playing war and Saturday morning pitchers at the Oden, gone now,
and what about weldstone swimming baths we would be there from morning till closing but you had to come out at lunch time for an hour and the pay to go back in again,
Then in 1962 I went to the land of Oz and hated it at first but now after 55 years and retired from Qantas airways I'm glad I did make the move done under,
after being back many times and seeing the place it's sad
