Children walking to school.
Children playing marbles. Autumn Olympics (climbing into orchards, carrying away a load of apples, and running). Newspaper delivery boys on bicycles. Petrol pump attendants. Children cycling back from the shops with four stone of potatoes in two bags hanging on the bicycle handlebars (autobiographical detail). The above is the rough draft of the first chapter of my autobiography.  |
