Growin' Up In Smallfield !!

A Memory of Smallfield.

Such a lovely Village back in them ol' days !!
I was born in Careys Wood in 61.
Lavish memories of playing in Moodys Farm field (stories of Elephants being buried there ??)
Wonderful Mr. Sheppard in his shop dishing out 6p worth of Cola Cubes !!
Floods in the mid 60s and wading through water knee deep (to a kid !!)
Father Christmas on the back of a pickup through the Winter streets.
Snow at Xmas !!!
Felling Conkers outside Smallfield Place fence.
The Old Post Office come shop (Ham,Cheese etc) along with the Mobile Library & Mobile Barbers.
Going to the little School up the road and old Mrs. Butler Teacher, and then on to the BIG Primary School.
Playing Shinty in the playground.
Dear Mr. Johnston. Headmaster.
Friends...........Timothy Collins. I was staying over when the Moon Landing happened !! Trevor Eagle, Francine Gillings (serious crush on Francine at 7 !!) Peter Youles, Andrew Gardner, Mark Payne. Barry & Raymond Miller.
Bulldog Butch (Bullseye in Oliver !!) at the Morleys, ambling slowly down the paths.
Remember the sound of the Airplane exploding at Balcombe in 68/9?

Above all just remember a beautiful childhood full of adventure and friends, wide open spaces in the glorious 60s.
