The times spent with my parents are so special to me and I have bucket loads of very good memories, far too many to type out. Listed here are just a random few.

 

 

1. Christmas presents hidden behind a huge wardrobe and being told not to dare look for them. If I did Father Christmas would give them to someone else. I never looked, honest.

 

 

2. Making them my recipe version of Lob Scouce with a green chilli added. I have never seen them so red faced, they didnt eat much that night.

 

 

3. Getting a telling off and a clout for bringing home a 'used toilet seat' which turned out to be the new County Coucil issued bin bag holder they were going to attach to the outside wall. I pleaded my innocence but they would not believe me. Eventually the truth was known and a 'few bob' was my reward for a wrongful conviction.

 

 

4. The Sunday roast,special times. Dad sharpening the carving knife until it gleamed and sparkled. The blade of the knife was getting thinner and thinner every Sunday.

 

 

5. My first and only cinema trip with Mam to see Mary Poppins (1964). Singing the songs from the film on the way home.

 

 

6. Having fun when the Coventry family arrived for their shortbreak holidays. The house was full and sleeping on a camp bed or even the floor was all part of the fun. Great times, great memories and Mam and Dad loved having the house full.

 

 

7. Mam took up art and her water colour sketch of the view from the front window of Clwyd Avenue was her first attempt. It was fairly good(ish) but we did have a right laugh over it. She took the ribbing she received really well. I only wish I had that painting now.

 

 

8. Enjoying a drink in the Railway Inn with my Dad. He did occasionally meander his way down Clwyd Avenue after enjoying some jolly times in the Railway and the Plas Pigot. He also enjoyed a small bet on the gee gees and if he won he would stay out a little longer. Now I know why I did the same thing in my life, its inherited.  Fun, fun times.

 

 

9. Going to London in the early 1960s by train to see Lynda. The train leaving Denbigh train station. I can still see the train arriving in my mind now, I was so excited. London seemed the other end of the world to me.
