Hello

This is a personal memoir about growing up in Yorkshire in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and later. It is not always memoir, nor always about Yorkshire, but much of it is. You might recognise locations but I have changed the names and details of individuals in order to protect identities.

When you start blogging you can feel sure you are going to be the next Ian Jack or Alan Bennett, but soon realise you are not. That being said, I like to think I’ve learned something through the years and posts since starting out., and have definitely gained greater respect for the professionals who do this kind of thing so well.
