Happy Days
A Memory of Spencers Wood.
I was born in Spencers Wood in 1944 , at South Lodge , Stanbury Park , opposite Mr Shermans butchers shop, I went to school at Lambs Lane and later at Ryeish Green , I remember going to the Co Op shop for sweets with a ration book, I spent a lot of time at the smiths which was just in The Square watching the horses having new shoes I think the smithy was mr Double , I played in the woods which were accross the common, and the brook in the Summer time ,I seem to remember there was a Windmill on the common, they were happy days and the best best childhood you could wish for, my friend was Carol Mills and she lived in Swallowfield , I wish I could go back for just a day ,

My mums name was Rhoda but everyone called her Shirley and yes she was a little blonde bombshell. She died just after I got out the Navy 1974 of a ceribal haemorahage. It was instant. She was 51. my dad never remarried and lived until he was 93 and was ok up to about 3 weeks before his death when he started to slow down and gave up. He died in the Royal Berks 2005. I have youger than me. Bro Pat sis Theresa bro Tim and bro Terry They have all lived for long periods in Australia But only Tim and Pat live there now. Tim has been there since he was 16. Pat has been there about 30 yrs.
