Me, Carl and Foxy (sister Glenys' intended) at St Leonards. Foxy's HQ behind
us. God, he used to drive me everywhere in that thing. This was our first
extended trip away from home. 1974 (sigh). I was thirteen. What a hair-bear!
Yep, Carl was still a happy chappy (but it didn't last much longer). Foxy
was great company back then. He was kinda like a big kid. The thing is, he
still is.
Still at St Leonards, inside the bus that Foxy's dad owned. Jeanette (and
her horse) came with us. Look at sleepy-head on the left. Damn my clothes
were ugly! But this was the Seventies.
A final farewell (and good riddance) to my teens. Because, as far as I know,
there aren't any more photos of me as a teenager (until I'm nineteen). It's
kind of fitting: I do think of them as my 'lost years'. From here it was
downhill for quite a while - nothing but wagging, unemployment, crime and
solitude.
