I wonder if any one remembers the cockney kid Fred, who moved into "The Elms" back in 55 at the wonderful age of 15, went to school in Sandown for almost a year until graduation, ended up with the Royal Mail until I eventually returned to London went on to Manchester and then the rest of the world in the oil business.
Had lots of fun back then with the skiffle group at the teenagers hangout, I forget the night but remember the fun times. Always wondered what happened to Ruth Groves, she left for London before me and I lost contact. Anyway, it was also facinating to a city kid to grow thing like toms, cukes, peas, etc. etc. I enjoyed it so much that to this day I have a veg. garden. Oh by the way, I live in Texas now and enjoy all year growing weather with maybe three or four light frosts a year. Contact me for a chat if you remember me.
