So, the girls insisted I make a video. They been watching this surgery on vegetables and fruits and junk and decided to be helpful citizens the other day. I thought it was cute. Hope you enjoy! And yes,

One year on and we're back at the same church fete as the last homemovie. It's now 1966, the year England won the World Cup and I turned six. I've got a new costume for the fancy dress competition. This

Just found this older movie I missed first time round. This was my local church fete in 1965. I was five. I was a wizard in the fancy dress competition - long before the days of Harry Potter. Rock on wizards

Back in the air for our second holiday abroad in 1970. Mallorca again. I wonder what book I was reading? I do remember enjoying 'Emil and the Detectives' by Erich Kästner around that time so maybe it was

Our family holiday in Majorca / Mallorca in May 1969. This was our first trip abroad so a big event in the timeline of a working class family aspiring to move up to the lower middle classes. We flew from

I am back on the dodgems - age 7 or 8 I believe. This was Wicksteed Park - so I think the dodgems on the previous movie might have been Woburn Abbey instead. Another year older so I got to drive myself

This movie begins with a trip to Wicksteed Park. I was around 7. That's me in the bumper cars (or dodgems if you prefer) with my middle sister's 'boyfriend' - David if I recall. This was in the days when

There used to be a lot more snow when I was young in the 1960's. This was me, aged about 7, and my sisters building a snowman in our back garden. We still had coal fires then, the gas central heating hadn't
