The enclosed stories are taken from my own life as suggested by a book called "Writing Your Own Life Stories'. The idea behind the stories is to give your children and future generations some idea of what parents or grandparents got up to in their lives. Many children often wonder what their parents were like when they were young and what they did. Hopefully these short articles which in some cases will not he complete may give them some idea and hopefully be of interest. At a later date perhaps future generations will like to add some stories of their own lives and so on down the generations.
