Walks And Study

The Boating Lake And Pier Hill c1950
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

College days in S.O.S were fun with Bi-Pak and Maplin providing components for the electronics I was studing, and the endless others forms of fun along the sea front. But the best memory was on the Pier. I was walking my little daughter Penny in her pushchair and stopped to chat with a gent. Penny at this age could not walk (so I thought). After a few minutes Penny got out of the chair and rushed headlong towards the pier edge. Now, I am not fit or fast, but that day I could have run for England. I caught her just in time, and hugged her to bits. I never saw my son Scot take his first steps but I will never forget Penny's! She still goes head strong into things today. I love you Pen.
