Don't think he borrowed my clothes either when I was older, but again, I may be wrong there!

I remember so well the good hiding my Dad gave him when they got me indoors with blood gushing out of my eye - he was a very norty boy indeed even at that tender age!
No change there then!

There's no answer to that Roxy! Well, there is, but I better not or I'll be in trouble (again!)

At home we used to have a sofa in front of the fireplace and a mirror above the fire...
When Dad was due home from work Mum used to sit with me on her knee,
I would look in the mirror waiting to see the reflection of Dad standing in the doorway smiling...and then I would bounce up and down with excitement.
When I grew up I asked Dad if I had imagined this, he said it was true but was stunned that I should remember it ..I must have been very young because Mum died when I was 18 months old.
Norty When I was three I was taken to a family wedding by my aunt. Having spent most of the wedding breakfast on the floor under the table I suddenly emerged to stand on my chair and in front of everyone announced "Needles and pins, needles and pins when a man marries his troubles begin.

They then had a horse each and led me bareback on a pony about 3 miles all along the main road (although there wouldn't have been as many cars around in the 60's as now) My mum went mad when she came out of hospital My sister also put a wringing wet cardigan on me because she wanted me to look nice and clean for when mum got home
