I remember Saturdays at the Pheonix, Corgi toys from Rushtons,i ce lollies from Fieldings,v inegar from Ellis's, 99 tea from the Co-op and the "divi" (15046) and Green Shield stamps, pink stamps from Berties, school shoes from Howards, sliding face down on the parquet floor in the library and getting told off, crossing the village from the old Co-op to the post office without waiting, milk from the machine by the Black Horse (6p), walking from St Georges Road to the huts by the "Cheese" in a "crocodile" hand in hand, two abreast, every morning, and last but not least, long long happy summer days and snow drifts you could get lost in.
